feeling rather low again but also agitated

[Jingo]

Feeling low but agitated again. Really fed up with this. On second line meds ( escitalopram) after increasing doses of fluoxetine stopped being effective. In all been on meds for 19 months plus cbt. Gp has referred me to psychiatrist 3 weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet. Not sure if I should see Gp again in the meantime. She said come back if 'really low'. Not sure if this counts. Any thoughts?

I would personally say, from experience, fight on!

don;t keep going back to the doctor, messign with meds and dosage isnt good but somehow seems to be what doctors think you need...

release your agitation but going for a walk, some fresh air... or punch a cushion or your sofa cushion!! i do, and when im feeling really super low, i do that and then i end up feeling better... mainly through laughing at myself though!!

3 weeks isnt far off, battle it out until then... you can do it!!! :):)

Feeling terribly agitated. No one can see it from the outside but inside I'm churning. I feel so terribly weary. This feeling follows me round all the time. It is part of me. I'm not sure l'll ever be free of it.

What is your caffeine/alcohol intake like out of interest?

Also, how long since you last changed the dosage of any meds?

Two cups of tea. Only decaff coffee no fizzy drinks or alcohol. About 10 weeks since med change. Still feeling pretty desperate.
