Hi empty0507, sorry your not feeling too good, i know how you feel im on antidepressents right now, I think you need to go back to the doctor before it gets any worse if you have to go back on tablets then so be it, maybe you need to be on a low dose for life just to keep you on an even keel, I know many people who have been on them for years on a low dose and they are fine, better than feeling like you do. Take care xxx:flowers::bighug1:

maybe it might be good idea and tell your docter about how you feel now you have stopped meds,maybe he can give you something to ease your feelings:)

Hi empty,

Sorry to hear of your problems. You'll find lots of good serious advice to help here, as well a lots of friends and fair share of good humour.

As to the serious side; why did you come off the anti-depressants? It sounds like they were covering an open sore that hasn't healed and now you've removed the plaster it's hurting again. Has your doctor suggested anything else besides medication; CBT, counselling etc? You may find these sites useful http://www.beatingtheblues.co.uk/ and http://livinglifetothefull.com/.

Now for the other side of the site, if you like cooking this thread may lighten your mood http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=62408.
