Hi there.
5 months ago I decided to work hard to come off an antidepressant after being on the drug for four years. I thought I could cope and was really proud when I came off completely. I have been drug free now for 4 months.
a month ago, I gave up drinking alcohol and really thought I was doing well. I have a great life, wife, kids, business etc. Everything should be shining for me. Two weeks ago, I decided to take on more work than I could handle and as a result, last Friday I crashed like never before. I started feeling very low, had horrible thoughts, anxiety attacks which have scared me to the point of nearly wanting to administer myself into hospital. My gut churns every day and I find it hard to experience any sort of regular bowl movement. Yesterday, I saw a great doctor who I am sure will help me. She has told me that my condition is most likely genetic and to get me through has put me on a different antidepressant.
I took a tablet yesterday and another this morning but today I have felt even more nauseas, overwhelmingly tired and confused at times with dizziness. How long does it last for...does it get better?
i need to get through this for my family. Any help you have would be great.
thanks,
mark
