Hi,
Well I went to see my GP, he was really really nice, so supportive & understanding, we also had a giggle once I got everything off my chest
I told him exactly how ive been feeling, worrying about my health 24.7 and feeling low. Told him im googling all the time and freaking out. He said my bloods are just to check my iron stores and a few other things but he doesn't think for one minute im ill. He was glad that I came to him and told him how I felt so now he can help.
He said he didn't want to touch SSRI's with a barge pole after the reaction I had to Cypralex so he has put me on a Tryciclic(sp) the family ive been on before but this one is called Trazodone. He made me promise I won't read the leaflet He has put me on 2.5ml (liquid form for 2 weeks) he wants to build it up very slowly.
He gave me half an hour of his time, was supposed to be 5 minutes, he was fantastic and im so glad I went and opened up. He wants to see me again in 2 weeks
Went to boots and they have to order it in so im to start it tomorrow and take it at night.
Has anyone taken this if so do you know if weight gain was a side effect? I am very wary of them because my apetite has always gone and ive lost lots of weight on anti ds, since coming off the lofepramine another tryciclic ive got a very good apetite and gained weight.
Thanks for all your support this morning and im sorry to take over this board lately.
