When I try to get off I become very shot and angry so I go back on . The issue is that my days are still dark . If I didn't have my kids and my partner I can honestly say I wouldn't be here . Are there any suggestions or better treatments ? I'm still scared that one day I won't be able to fight it any more </P> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 10:29:28 GMT Glenns 2017-03-12T10:29:28Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/medication/m-p/216064#M6327 <P>Hi BB</P> <P> </P> <P>I've been on anti depression tablets now for years.

It seems strange that they would keep you on a medication if it isn't working. Might be worth looking at seeing a GP or Psychiatrist? From my experience, getting off these med is rough. And by the sounds of it, like you, I experienced a fair amount of anger after coming off one. It passed within a couple of weeks but it not ideal at all, especially with kids. </P> <P>My best advice would be to talk to a psychiatrist, that's what I'd do anyway. They have their pathways and options which might work out well for you.</P> <P> Hopefully you're able to find some relief from the darkness of your days!</P> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 11:37:10 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/medication/m-p/216065#M6328 20oney 2017-03-12T11:37:10Z
