I don't like people

hi jac, i used to be anti-depressants for a few years when i was in my early teens. It took nearly everything i had to give to get off them. I think the only reason i wanted off them was because i just wanted to be free of medication. Im now 20 and not on anything. Depression and anxiety still cripples me at times, but i dare'nt get hooked on pills again. Good luck in what u choose to do, take care

Hi Jac

Firstly welcome to the site. Sorry to hear how hard it has been for you trying to come of prozac. I am sure other people on her that have taken it will be able to offer you their valued support.

Hope chaz is okay, she is lucky to have such a supportive and understanding mum.

Talk soon.



Lots of Love Sal xxxxx

hi again jac. LOL i take the odd pain killer too i get so many physical symtoms like you too. Must be a comforter becouse I am sure the cant realy do anything for our codition. I get the bad physical symtoms to, last year i was so bad with tummy pains even passing blood and got refered to a gastrologist, had Barium enema. Sigmoidoscopy, xrays, blood tests and all sorts over the period of that year and was happy in the end to find it was just IBS, which can be triggered buy anxiety etc too. But after all them tests and knowing there isnt realy anything wrong my tummy is good as ok again. Then it seems to pop up as another symtom? I think Its just trying to trick us into making us think there is something wrong. Take care. Vernon.
PS Its good you dont drink it only causes more probles.

hi welcome to the forum im sure you will find it really helps to read and also post your views on things, i do take medication and have to say that if taking 3 tablets gives me the chance to be sane and quite in control of my life then i can live with that, i suppose somewhere down the line i should come off them but for now im happy to take them, every one has different views i suppose but thats just mine

Hi Rachel, I'm feeling alot better, thanks for asking. I am on Effexor 75mg, have been on them since August last year, had no side effects when I started taking them but awful withdrawals when i tried to stop.

How are you today Jaqui - have you found this site helpful so far?

Take care

I'm not too bad today thanks, I have to go into work this afternoon so I am a little anxious like I always am when going to work, but I'll get ready and put on a smile, and walk into work. I'm sure I'll be fine

Hi Jacqui
I think once you actually get to work it does help. I'm always having to drag myself to my job but once i'm there and get stuck in with things i don't seem to be as anxious anymore. I just feel its because i'm having to train my thoughts elsewhere and not on how i'm feeling.
Hope work was ok for you today.
Take care

Hi Jac, I really admire people who are able to hold down a job whilst suffering from anxiety etc and think you are doing really well. I have thought about looking for a job but it is difficult as I would have to get one that fits around school hours. I returned to work a couple of years ago in the local convenience store but had a return of my panic attacks after a few months and had to take time off and couldn't face going back which is a shame as i actually quite liked the job and it fitted in with the kids, it was 5pm-10pm but it meant i didn't get to see alot of the kids and my boyfriend as they were always in bed by the time i got home.

Hope work went o.k and you didn't feel too anxious - what is it you do?

Take care
Love Lisaxx
