Hi guys,
I've not been on the forums for a fairly long time as I thought I was getting better, but now I'm not feeling great again and I'm starting to wonder what the point is (of taking the meds).
I started on cit in September and although it was a bumpy ride I thought, overall, that I was feeling better. My doctor was fairly sure this was just a 'blip' in my life and that I'd recover fairly well and relatively quickly. Today, I went back to see the doctor a different one at the same surgery) to review my meds and to tell her that I didn't feel they were working any more and that I'd been feeling terrible since just before christmas. i also said that I thought my depression had been going on for a long time - I had a bad accident when I was younger and I think that's the trigger.
Now, i don't know if it was me over reacting, but I feel as though the doctor completely ignored me and palmed me off with a repeat prescription (40mg) so she wouldn't have to deal with me.
So, for the rest of the day I've been thinking about going cold turkey or buying a pill cutter to wean myself off so I don't have to see the doctors again.
If anyone has been or is in a similar situation is there any advice you could give? I really feel as though I'm slowly getting deeper into the depression and the doctors aren't helping me :(
And sorry for the big essay!
