depression now *sigh*

[venusbluejeans]

So my anxiety seems to be turning into depression.

Very much have a "whats the point" mood. so bored of feeling like I do anxiety wise... every time I push myself to get better then my head feels so much worse and I fail.

Currently taking Citalopram 40mg and also propranolol 40mg as and when.... been taking the propranolol for 2 days now which also corresponds to when my low mood started... no idea if the 2 are related.

I am feeling very much robotic.. just doing things to survive the days rather than to live a life and the best time of day is bed time, time passes so slowly too.... I hope this stage passes quickly

not sure why I am posting really, just needed to rant.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way, it sucks to feel this way especially this time of year. I wonder if it could be part of adjusting to the new medication and hopefully will pass. Are you able to get out and do something that makes you feel a little more like yourself? Sometimes that helps me, even if it's literally the last thing I want to do.

Hope you feel better!

Hi

I used propranolol for years it actually has depression as a side effect :-( your body will get used to it. If your anxiety isn’t too bad then why don’t you reduce dosage they come in 10mg I was once on 160mg

Hi Venusbluejeans

Totally know where you are coming from, I have anxiety and depression. I have been on clomipramine for years but anxiety has just got higher lately and beta blockers have been prescribed at 40mg. I hate taking meds but at the moment will do anything not go back to where I was years ago. I would just keep checking in with your GP and keep a note of when you take the BB's and when your mood drops. x

Hang in there, Venus You will get through this. Depression tricks our minds into thinking this feeling will last forever and never go away. But that's not true. It's just a bump in the road.

Good luck. I've also been put on 40mg of Propanalol daily. I can't say it makes any difference. Still suffering bad anxiety/depression/tiredness. Even though it's hard to find any energy to do, I'd definitely say go for a walk to give you a little purpose and increase any endorphins. Best wishes. Nige
