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 @Emelia8 , I'm so happy to hear that you had a lovely birthday y'day. You truely deserved to!!

Today has been low key for me - brunch with Mum, which is special in itself. I've received some lovely b'day wishes on this site & also from ppl on FB, which has been really nice.

Thank you for your kind b'day wishes - I appreciate it, when you should be spending time continuing to enjoy your time at the retreat with your friend. You are such a thoughtful, kind lady.
