Changing meds

Changing meds

Hi. I battled MDD & acute anxiety nearly all of my adult life. I've been on numerous different SSRIs, SRNIs, antipsychotics, tried rTMS & ECT. Am addicted to a benzo for my anxiety.

I am in the process of swapping out from a SRNI to a MAOI and the wash out period is hell. I really don't think I'm going to make it. This is the darkest place I have ever been.
I have no family support, honestly no friends, not able to work & are completely isolated.

i don't feel my medical team actually care much anymore, they are overwhelmed by new clients because of covid.

i hardly sleep, but the last thing in my mind before I do, is how much I want to die. It's the first thought of the day when I wake up.

what if this new medication doesn't work either??

Re: Changing meds

Hello @WIP @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Former-Member @Anastasia I hope you all have a good day

im about to go crawl back into bed, I do not feel well at all today. I’ve been sitting listening to music this morning and doing a little painting, but I have not been able to focus, my hands are rather shaky and I have horrible nausea among other things. I’ll give my daughter some craft and she will happily keep my mum on her toes hopefully.

Enjoy the rest of your days, it’s windy and cool here so perfect weather to be in bed.

I am in bed too @Bow for similar reasons. I’ve taken more than enough prn as I have no fight in me today.

Re: Changing meds

Hey @Eve7,

It sounds like a good day to stay in bed and rest a bit I noticed you said you had taken more than enough of your prn today. I hope this amount is still within the dosage prescribed by your doctor as otherwise this can be risky. Please be cautious and I hope you have a restful day and take good care of yourself.

Re: Changing meds

I'm sorry to hear that you are both having a rough day @Bow @Eve7

I hope spending time resting in bed does the trick to help you feel a little better.

Thinking of you both

Hello @Bow @WIP @Eve7 @Emelia8 @Former-Member and Levi

Re: Changing meds

Hi @Anastasia lovely of you to stop by during your busy work day. 😄💕

Ha ha .. 😍.. I see you added a 6th hug/flower/heart/coffee there. Presumably for little Levi? Best to omit the coffee for Levi coz Ive read that caffeine is toxic for dogs. 😳🐶

But I need a cuppa and am about to make one. Feeling fuzzy headed and dizzy after a brief lie down to rest sore head and aching joints. So the hug, love and flower is also much appreciated.👍🌹

Hope @WIP @Bow @Eve7 you are all feeling a bit better than earlier.

Emelia 💞

Re: Changing meds

So lovely of you to call past @Anastasia - especially with hugs, flowers & coffee, although I'll swap my coffee for water. Too late in the day for me to have coffee.... And thanks for including little Levi - he's peacefully sleeping on the couch atm. We went to the doggy park after my Osteo appt & the heat has got to him I think - poor little poppet.

I hope your fuzzy head clears soon @Emelia8

I also hope @Eve7 @Bow are feeling a bit better this afternoon
