    There are many other medications that can be tried. Not all have the same side effects.... Surely it's better to try so you don't spend all day crying. Doesn't your Mum know?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Yeah my mum knows caus she can see how visibly anxious & depressed I am on a daily basis. She keeps tellin me I shouldn't be suffering when there's meds in front of me. She also knows about my intense crying episodes .

    I know there's more ADs to the ones I've tried but I wouldn't like to go against my doctors advice. He prescribes Citalopram, Fluxotine, Sertraline & Mirtazipine & thats it.

    I wouldn't like to take the risk on my physical health with the others. I'm considerin goin back on Citalopram. I know I've been round in circles with these pills & they haven't done for my depression but they at least relieve the anxiety.

    What risks to your physical health do you specifically mean? I’m surprised your doctor is so limited with what they can prescribe. Amitryptaline, for instance, is also used for many physical/neurological disorders, as well as an AD, so is widely prescribed by GPs ........
    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.

    I think that if your GP is only prepared to prescribe those then you should be pushing for a referral to someone else who can prescribe alternatives. Also I think you should take your Mum with you to your appointments...

    I don't want drugs in my body full stop but I'm sufferin really badly. I can't justify resorting to these fatigue inducing pills when I haven't even explored natural solutions.

    Right now I'm on a detox from caffeine & I've noticed my anxiety drop in intensity. Its still there but the extreme physical symptoms seem a bit more manageable. I need to get out of my room, meditate, socialise & maintain a healthy diet. Easier said than done but I need to at least explore these options that are open to me. I've been crying a lot but being in my room festers that loneliness ..

    Yes you need to do all of those things, whether you’re taking meds or not, they’re important. (Nb, not all ADs cause fatigue )

    I completely agree with Paula. Not all meds are like that - how many have you tried?

    Think I'm about ready to cease existing. I've ed up a social care job that I enjoy doing. I'm on the brink of being sacked after 2 shifts because of performance issues & because I don't have a full uniform. I quit my last role prior after 8 shifts as well. I can't do anythin right I'm a waste of space.

    I may as well just die now because unconsciousness is the only relief I get from this miserable in existence. Never had a girlfriend, never had a sustainable job, depression, anxiety, anhedonia. I'm done ..

    What's happened with the job?
    When was it last that you saw your Dr?
    There are options and you can get through this...
