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??

Hi @Anastasia Bought a rose plant the other day. Still hoping it'll survive. Haven't had luck with roses. Not with many plants actually. Haha 💞

How's your garden @TAB ? I remember you were trying to revive it.

Re: Changing meds

I'm sorry you feel alone @Former-Member

I do too sometimes even surrounded by people. You're not thought, please speak up we are all in this together. Can I make a suggestion to you dear @Former-Member ?
