Hope

Treatment and medication
1

I just wanted to post this because as with most forums when I started using this one I felt so alone and that I was the only one going through these things. Everyone I have spoken to has really given me hope.

I also want to add, as many of us do as we start to feel better and are thankfully able to join the land of th living we forget to post the good bits. so these are my good bits. Headaches gone, upset tummy gone, Sleeping yeahhh finally able to go out and have fun Yeahhh AND thank god the dreaded sexual side effects have subsided yeahhh and I can now fully enjoy that side of my relationship again.

This is a drug that is so different for everyone but I just wanted to share that for me there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope and wish that for everyone else.

Hi Lynne,

I am still on them and after discussion with my GP we will be reviewing this in Oct but as lots of us know the winter months aren't always easy. At the moment the plan is to start to come of them Feb next year. 

Initially the side effects weren't brill and tbh one of the saddest parts was how they efected my sex life but I have perserved and hopefullly on the other side of them.

Thanks for posting this Wendy. As you suggest, it's easy to forget about these forums when you get better, it's great to read a positive post!!

Good luck with your future smile
