Yeah I told him the other day, he said if it's working for you then continue off them. I think he realises that I've been going round in circles back & forth between Setraline, Mitazipine, Fluxotine & Citalopram & the only benefit was a slight decrease in my anxiety. In regards to my depression, it was probably WORSE on them due to the extreme fatigue those pills give you.

A lot of people aren't aware how debilitating those side effects actually are. They fall down a rabbit hole of going from pill to pill without knowing the underlying effects they have on you. If your suicidal then yeah they probably help but because I'm moderately clinically depressed they did more harm than good. I didn't even leave my bed ffs. Now I have my emotions back, I'm sleeping much better, I'm pushing myself more & I'm feeling gradually more confident socially. My anxiety seems to have increased but it's outweighed by those positives. I'm re-doing the training this friday which I'm nervous about. I need to try & get my anxiety under control before then ...
