Antidepressants

[Eve1]

I have been waking in the middle of the night for weeks and weeks now. Tried a few things, kalms, bath before bed, nothing works. I’m now so low I think I’m going to go back on antidepressants. One of the good things about them was I slept better. I don’t like some of the other effects but maybe I’ll only need them for a shorter time than previously. I just can’t see my way through the next few months without some help. I rang the GP and they agreed.
I couldn’t face starting to take them this morning because I know I’ll feel worse before I feel better but I’m going to start tomorrow. Wish I’d started them today Can’t feel much worse than I do now. In 5 days I’ve done nothing but the bare essentials and it’s seriously getting me down. I tried a little walk this morning but that has completely worn me out.

I am many, many years out of the abusive marriage I was in but the underlying stress about housing I feel which is certainly contributing to this lowness, stems from that abuse. It was always going to be hard after leaving. There must be a way forward again I feel but I definitely need some help right now.

Love
Eve

Hi Eve, we do what we have to do to survive, whether that’s before we leave or after. We all have glitches, part of life. It’s jyst lack of sleep makes everything so much worse. Ice been practicing LOA again fir quite a while now, (law of attraction). I can remember thinking I’d never sleep again, kalms,cbdoil,camomile tea, warm bath, going to bed at regular time, nothing worked and then it did. I hope it evens out fir you soon

Thanks IWMB,

Yes there really are things that will always trip us up aren’t there? I’m glad something eventually helped you sleep. I feel really desperate, or I wouldn’t contemplate the tablets again. It was quite an effort to come off them. But if I can get or even look forward to better sleep it will help.

Tryptophan worked well for me. It’s what’s in turkey that makes you sleepy. It’s natural, not expensive.

If you’re getting awful side effects, please speak to your gp. There are loads of drugs out there and it can take a while to find one that suits you. I’ve been given meds for severe anxiety. One of them makes me feel as though I have mashed potatoes in my skull and the other makes me eat all the time, so I think I’ll just stick to the Valium every now and again! The anxiety has been crippling. The side effects of the drugs don’t take away the main problems though. Keep going! You’ll get there!

Thank you both. I wouldn’t know where to get tryptophan. I’ll see how I go. I know when I’ve got to this point before these tablets have helped. The nurse practitioner is going to ring me in 2 weeks. Hopefully I’ll see an improvement by then.
