The only side effect I have ever had (20mg per day for about 15 months) is the inability to cry which I think is making me very angry whenever I have a problem with anyone. Crying, although not a solution, certainly helps to relieve the stress. I am tempted to stop taking them to see if I can actually cope better without them then see if my GP understands what I mean.
Anyone else feel like me?
i have just posted above you i am not on them myself just looking as my husband was given them today everyone is different i suppose and reacts differently. 15 months is a long time do you find other than not being able to cry they have made a diff to your mood?
These pills do have a tendency to keep your personality on flat-line, perhaps after being on them for 15mths it maybe time to come off...
But, they have a strong withdrawal effect, your doctor could replace the prescription with prozac and then slowly cut you down. Otherwise if you just come off them yourself, you may well think the withdrawal is you and that you can not do without them.
Your family and friends would surely prefer the real you with all your moods,
Hopefully now the moods would be good ones! Good Louck
I am only on day 8 and have not cried once since starting them, I like it but I don’t think others do so much! I have begun pushing my frustrations out onto others instead of in on myself.
I told my fiancé of 5years I was leaving him last night and felt nothing; normally I would be in pieces. It’s a bit scaring I may be about to lose everything I was trying to save by going on anti- depressants.
I was hoping this would settle as its early days for me the thought of it lasting 15months- well I will have nobody and nothing left!
I don’t really know what to suggest although I am interested in the outcome because I maybe in your shoes in the future
Take care
