Trying so hard to be positive

[Annie0904]

I would have to go through the withdrawal of My current meds then 2 weeks of none before I could take SSRI's and that scares me and is why my doctor is reluctant to change. Maybe I should just speak to him about increasing my current meds as I am only taking a low dose.

Yes you could try an increase, but you need to do something, all this crying and fear is making you ill xx

What is your medication called?

[Elle-Kay]

Perhaps just discuss meds generally with him Annie, and see what options you have. Mke sure he understands that you feel that your current type/dose is no longer working as well as it shuld though x

(sorry for typos - I'm typing with a lump of brie in one hand!!)

((you wait until I start my crisps in a minute and then see how bad my typing gets!!!))

[Laura123]

Yes agree with Leah, I think sometimes the dose we are on just stops working and am increase is necessary. I love Brie, I want it!!!!!!

My appetite has returned and I can't stop scoffing, need to get a grip!

I take Dosulipin but only taking 75mg at the moment. I also have Chlordazipoxide for when things gets really bad. I started taking those again just 5mg each morning (and I forgot it this morning!) The doctor has told me I can take 3 of those each day but have only taken 1. When I first started on Dosulipin I was taking 125mg so I know I can up the dose but wanted to try to manage without doing that (which I obviously can't). Thank you ladies you are the best and I really appreciate your support.

[Laura123]

You don't need to thank us, that's why we are all here, we all need a bit of support sometimes, I just can't wait to see you feeling a bit brighter. X

[Elle-Kay]

Me too (on the brie issue). My herblist told me i cold eat as much cheese as i wanted to help my digestion/put weight on, so I'm happy as a pig in whatsit

p.s. told you my typing would get worse when i started the crisps!

[Laura123]

Glad you are listening to your chums x

I have 2 stone to lose for my sisters wedding next summer, I am matron of honour and I don't want to look like a big pig in a frock so I need to wire my jaws I think! X
