Yep.

[~Kizwiz~]

If you are going to get any side effects they should start over the next few days if not sooner and can last for up to 2 weeks.

You may or not be drozy and you might be nauseous and very restless. They will go away I promise but if they get really bad then go to the docs.

Most people dont get any other side effect other then a dry mouth, a bit sicky and the fidgets and they slowly fade to nothing

Oh and try not to drink (ha ha ha.... I know) but it will make side effects even worse

[Nurse57]

No drink!!! Now I am ****ing depressed.

Thanks for the info. Forgot to ask at the docs.

[Nurse57]

pfff.... thats not gonna happen until I get the right treatment and am sure the waiting list is long!!!!!!

I have no idea where to start but being unhappy about my diagnosis isnt a good place to be

[Nurse57]

Sorry too hear that. At least you are near your family now.

[~Kizwiz~]

I guess thats a good thing yes, they try and understand as much as they can.

I just wish things would move on quicker but until I see a specialist I am stuck on these god awful tablets that zonk me on a higher dose or if I reduce they dont sedate me enough so I climb the walls.

I have good days when I can go out the house and be 'normal' and then I have bad days when I cant be around anyone, not even my family.

On bad days I cant bear to be touched.... its not very nice

Honestly I promise you all things will or should I say Can get better for you. Getting well isnt just about other people stepping in to do it, or medication, it is about wanting to get well. As long as you are committed (or need committed lol) to getting well then you will make progress. I remember very little about when I was at my worst to be honest, but I fight a daily battle to stay as well as I can be, I think a desire to feel better helps.

You might be one of those lucky few who get no side effects, sometimes side effects can make you feel worse than you did and you wonder what the hell you are doing, but if you do get them, stick with them the side effects will pass.

Sweet... maybe not.

Nevermind amphetamines.

Try amphetamine sulphate.

Lemmy from Motorhead gives it the thumbs up treatment.

"Well he would".

How about St Johns Wort?

But always speak to your GP if you are already taking prescription ADs, St Johns Wort can react really badly with medication so be very careful.

I think Lemmy's is bigger.

Thats brilliant to hear, you are so lucky to be without side effects, I am pleased for you. Like I said sometimes that side effects can be so bad they put you off taking the medication.

Just take things easy, the side effects will go away I promise. The wont last too long but if they do get worse try and see your doctor to put your mind at ease

[Nurse57]

firstly to everyone in this thread
i was a few years ago in a very bad place i never had tablets but i did have weekly sessions with my doctor where lots of old issues were brought up and talked through i also had to do a diary and at the time i felt lots worse than when i started because of all the stuff i had kept hidden inside being brought to the surface and i will admit that there were times when suicide seemed like the only option for me to the point i had to fight with myself to not step in front of a lorry or jump off a bridge
i have also seen it from the other side and ended up sitting with my mum in a&e cos she had taken a overdose
depression is a nasty thing and it can hit anybody and there really isnt enough help and understanding of it
i am now at a point where i have dealt with my issues and i am no longer in that dark place
i also suffered very bad panic attacks when pregnant and have had a few since then but again i am now in control of these and can do steps to stop them in their tracks
