Hi Trizzy
I'm with you there. What is the name of the meds you are on? I've been on citalopram for years now - but had to try a few first to find one that a) didn't make me faint all the time b) didn't make me drop weight like anything and c) actually made a difference. They do take a while to get into your system though.

I used to suffer very badly and then got back to normal but have recently had a massive set back and ended up in hospital again - I feel really embarrased about it - do you find that?

Thanks for the response,
Yes i am really embarrassed by the constant assurance i need, i feel people think i am mad. I am taking Prozac which i have had before but cant remember things ever being this bad. I am feeling pressure in my neck and constant feeling of wanting to be sick. This makes me panic i not think rationally.
