    All drugs go through extensive testing before they are licensed for general prescribing. All drugs have side effects but that depends on the person, but they are predominantly safe otherwise they wouldn't be approved. Unless there are reasons why your gp needs to take extra care with you, a health condition for example, then they are just making excuses. My gp was limited because of the immunosuppressant that I'm on but they were still able to prescribe 8 different medications.

    Erm my husband is on venlafexine and it's completely changed his and our lives - that with intensive psychotherapy. You deserve to be helped. If your GP won't do it then ask to be referred to someone else who can. Oh and I take 2 completely different AD's for pain and I know on how they make me feel...
    Really do not settle for being told that the others aren't safe, that's total rubbish!

    I've dug myself into the most awkward situation. I've been called into the office at my support service because I requested a possible change of service. I asked for a service thats not all "male staff" & now they have concerns about me. I fear the worst tbh ..

    I'm dreadin this appointment tommorow with the manager. How do the hell do u even give a reason for not wanting to work with all male staff?. I've told them its just a preference but how the do u even elaborate on somethin as ridiculous as that?. If they sack me then its unfair dismissal in a way. They also never told me I was going to be workin with all male staff.

    What is your reason for not wanting to work within an all male team?

    I've worked in a largely all male environment all my life and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not the gender or sexuality of the people you work with it's how you get on with your colleagues that counts.
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"

    Did they ever tell you that you wouldn’t be working with all male staff?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Today has been extremely stressful for me. I was called into the office again with 2 managers. They outlined more concerns because a staff member reported me for "struggling to fold clothes". Then immediately as I started shift, I was told to take a challenging person shopping. A grumpy old man who can switch on a dime. I felt so much adrenaline during that period. I was almost cryin in front of the service user, I was that stressed .

    When I returned to the service, a manager was observing me work out the finances, makin me even more nervous & went through some checks (which suggests I proved myself in some way as I was threatened with dismissal a few hours prior).

    Then I came come home to my vile brother & his mates getting ed in the garden, calln me a "daft bstrd" & a "dopey cnt" for no reason other than to belittle me. All this on top of my depression. Its just a preference to work with women & men opposed to all men. I've never been the "jack the lad" type & prefer to interact with women (sorry for the wall of text).

    Were you struggling to fold clothes? What other concerns do they have? Did you manage to help the service user? Why were you threatened with dismissal?

    They threatened me with a possible dismissal interview. My last 2 shifts since that last meeting have been productive. I took the service user out again today into town, managed his finances (expenditure, balance etc) & made his tea.

    I did what was required of me to prove that im capable by myself. Despite that, I was getting an unpleasant vibe from the other staff member on shift. He raised his voice at me a couple times & hardly spoke to me. I don't feel comfortable workin with this person at all. Its like he's waitin on me to slip up so he can report me. I haven't cried today which is rare. I'm sure its just a smokescreen though ...

    Sounds like you've made a really positive impact on the SU's day! Well done!!
    Maybe just work away from this other person if you find it uncomfortable to be working near them...
    You've only just started, you're not expected to know everything or how to do everything yet...
