I thought it was a good title to start a discussion with other members. I am feeling really irriratable of late. I am worried my depression is on its way back. I have to look at ways at managing and expressing my feelings. Its so hard to get the words out and to express what is happening for me.

I'm taking the meds slowly, to allow my body, time to adjust to the meds @TAB So far the side effects have been minimal. Its hard to ignore the side effects when it causes gastrointestinal upset, light headedness etc. I'm taking the same med I went off, a bit of a story behind that but because I had a good response it was decided I would go back on this. Last time the side effects at the start were much worse. As they say slow and steady wins the race. And starting slowly means more likely to be successful in staying on the medication (perseverance).

Hi @TAB
Your welcome. I am not sure what you meant by medication and that you don't do it anymore- why is this? I know medication is not for everyone...
