Hello !

[Rozzy]

I've been hovering around this site for ages but only just joined.....

I've had anxiety (GAD) for years and ongoing depression, too, also for years.

I've been on and off nearly every possible medication; I seem to be getting more sensitive to them as I get older (my body has probably had enough of drugs!).

At the moment I'm on amitiriptyline and mirtazapine; withdrawing from Cipralex. I also take diazepam (as sparingly as possible!), when I have to.

Really good to be with people in a similar situation. :yesyes:

Hi Rozzy and:welcome:

I can relate to what you say about meds-as I get older I seem to tolerate them less too!

I hope the site helps you-it has certainly been a Godsend to me in recent times.
