Have you told your doctor about the "zombie" feeling? They might be able to adjust your medicine or change it to something that works better for you. What time of the day are you taking your medicine? If it's in the morning you might try taking it at night. One of my medicines makes me groggy and I have found that exercise helps quite a bit. I have been through a lot and I know how hard it is to cope, so if you need someone to talk to you can message me whenever. Stay strong and best wishes!

My psychiatrist is aware of all the side effects. I have been on ssri's namely citalopram and seroxat which I couldn't tolerate. Seroxat messed me about big time while citalopram was like taking smarties ie nothing happened. So then the Snri Duloxetine was prescribed. Shortly after quietapine was added as a "booster". Thanks for your kind comments. I hate these drugs
