Give me some seretonin please

Commiserations @birdsong a few years back I had several rounds of eye surgery and it was really tough. I was depressed and bordering on psychotic at times but got through it. I've been on various antideps but these days getting a few endorphins from exercise and boosting/levelling my metabolism through dietary choices. That might help you bridge the gap between your 10 and 15 mg doses.

If you've still got an eye to watch, here's a pro-serotonin animal clip sampler.

Thanks Dimity

Thanks for your reply. I kind of need to get my medication sorted first cos I cant think straight enough to get myself to excersize. But yes soon.

Hi @birdsong

Is there any chance you could go up to 12.5mg of your antidepressant instead of 15mg or does it only come in 10mg and 15mg? If you have a 5mg tablet, could you cut it in half and add it to your 10mg tablet. Of course, there are many tablets that you can’t cut in half and that would be dangerous. Just trying to think outside the square.

Hope you work it out.

Actually, @birdsong scrap my advice. It’s not my place to give advice on medication.

I really hope you sort it out though.

Hi @Jade30 & @birdsong

Yes good clarifying Jade30 on not being able to give advice on medication. Can be quite a risky topic and best left to the prescribers - definitely check with who prescribed your medication Birdsong to make sure its safe before you do anything.

Happy new year 💜

Thanks Jade for having a go at supporting me. Its a funny thing cos Doctors dont really know how the drugs feel in my unique body mind ... but I realize its not appropriate for others to make medical recommendations also.

Oh dear...

Somehow I feel better just being replied to anyway.
