Hello, I have been on Fluoxetine since Aug last year. I started off on 40mgs per day, then in Oct last year went down to 40mgs evey 3 days. (I had depression & anxiety due to a number of stresses & probably a touch of post-natal depression too). I have also been on Diazapam 2mg 4 times per day since March last year. Some days I need Diazapam, others I am ok. I get quite anxious about my children, my 1 yr old in particular as he has susected astma and has been ill for some time. My family are also in financial difficulties, which makes me anxious. I sometimes drink quite alot of alcohol. My GP thinks that I am stressed and not depressed anymore. When I asked him what to do about the anti-depressants in that case, he did not answer. (Having a bad day due to uk NHS reforms, I expect). I don't know what to do. i feel that I cannot really talk to my GP about this now. I don't really want to take them anymore & haven't now for over a week to experiment, but I keep getting really snappy, which is not good as I have 2 children under 3. Any suggestions please? (Before all this happened, I was a really happy, confident & outgoing person. I now feel inconfident & unhappy about my appearance & sometimes quite withdrawn).
