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

Thanks so much @Lee82

I'm always feeling like one step forward and three steps back and it's exhausting plus so very disappointing.
I don't know how much longer I can keep going. I'm on my own. I don't have anyone by my side to support me - no friends, no kids, no partner. It's such a hard slog by myself. Sorry to have a whinge, but I'm not doing too well and haven't been for ages.

I appreciate your offer of being only a tag away 💞

Thanks @Anastasia - you're always there for me. 💖
