I hear ya indeed would not wish this on my worst enemy, similar situation to myself beat it a while back but its back with a bang everyday at them moment. If you believe the meds are not working i would mention this to your gp as different people would requie different meds. When things pop into my head i write yhem down and then when im back round again i tgen review them and realise how stupid they were and are. Never easy dealing with this especially because of the setbacks but as youve said you have beaten it once and im sure you will again.
Iv postnatal depression and serve general anxiety. I get thoughts and then a uneasy feeling of that I'm loosing my mind. Scared I'll turn manic and have no control, end up like this forever and my kids will grow up with a mentally ill mother (breaking my heart )
Oh Rachel. I feel so badly for you. I know it's a tough battle and having to go through it again must feel just awful. Try and remember you did it once and you will be able to do it again. You are not losing your mind. Remember it's the meds not you. This is a set back. I assume your drs believe this is the med you should be on. Have you tried others.

I see a mental health doctor so she must know what shes doing but yes they don't seen to want to change it. Things have improved but they are short lived. They believe they are working just not enough to keep me well so they want me on 150mg sertraline. Started 125mg today. Iv been on them 15weeks (6 of them 100mg)
Yes i took sertraline 50mg for 5yrs came off it when pregnant. At 7mnths preg I was but on 20mg fluoxetine but when they increase it to 40mg o my is all I can say !!! I didn't sleep for days, I was screaming, I made my partner remove all danger from our house as I thought I was going to loose my mind it was a awful experience I'll never forget . I tried citralopram years ago but it made me Ill .
