Hi,
I'm responding because I read your first note and could really identify with it.
I try to come off Seroxat and I'm ok for the first two weeks even though I have awful withdrawal affects but I always sort of convince myself that as soon as they go away, I'll be ok. But the truth is I'm not I'm horribly depressed and anxious, wretching all the time etc, to the extent that I couldn't even kill myself if I tried. With cognitive therapy or no therapy it couldn't help me come off them
It would be nice to be able to say that SSRIs had caused this but if I could go back to six years ago I was suicidal and I really don't know what else I could have done to help myself apart from medication. As far as I was concerned I'd been doing everything right, sleeping sensibly, eating sensibly etc etc and I really don't know what else I could have done.
If you could go back to when this started is there anything do you think that you could have done anything differently do you think that there is anything you could have done rather than go on the medication merry go round?
Denise
