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

Hi @Anastasia

I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day with your boys.

I spent time with Mum & took her out to brunch. My sister managed to upset me though, by writing something on Mums card as a 'dig' at me, causing me to have a really :pile_of_poo: day, struggling with guilty emotions of being unwell and a burden on Mum.
I don't know, I'm trying, but it's never enough.

Anyway, rant over!

Re: Changing meds

@Anastasia r u alright my love?

my intuition tells me you may not be ok, which makes me worry, but at the same time, not to push you if you aren't.

Please just know I care very much, love you also and unfortunately can't do too much in a virtual world, but listen & reinforce how much you & your boy mean to me.

Hugs 🤗🤗💜🤗🤗
