Hiya, I think you should be guided by your doctor. Please don't compare yourself to others - what works for one person, may not be suitable for another. There are so many variables - different medications, doses, combinations of medicines. There was a recent scientific study saying that anti-depressants do work and can be beneficial, but it may take time, so please be patient. Take care,

Thank you, sweetie. I've heard this. Mine is not that Strong, some members of my family have taken it. I took it as well but not properly. Like i would Always have themwhenever i had an anxiety attack, of course that didn't work.

Yes always Good if they are anti depressants to take them as your Dr prescribed them. What are you taking?? People on the site say pills may start to work around day 15 but for me i felt slight pain mprovement at 35 days!! However hoping they may work really well for you as quickly as possible x x

Hi. I'm taking fluoxetine and when i have some attacks my mom gives me rivotril to calm me down and use it as a sleeping support. But i avoid taking rivotril cause it feels impossible to get up the next morning.

[gilip in reply to MandyBueno]

Good that you don’t need rivotril every night as it must be quite strong to make it hard to get up the next day. I always think not to look too far ahead but just to stay in the day you are in. Then you don’t miss the good moments. Love and hear cheering you on x

Staying where i am now it's so sad...but you are right. I'm Always worried about my future. I'm 20, i'm about to be a teacher very soon, and i work in a canadian school ( even living in Brazil). I know i am exactly where i should be right now. But i want more, and more....

[gilip in reply to MandyBueno]

We all want more and it will come honestly. Be the best you were meant to be with no stressing or striving just you. I live in Israel at the moment but am from Australia

[MandyBueno in reply to gilip]

We all have that insecurity inside us, that voice that says it's impossible to achieve our goals. I fight against those voices everytime they cross my mind. But my biggest flaw is being unable to cut off toxic people from my life. I feel like i'm chained to them somehow.

[gilip in reply to MandyBueno]

I know what you mean but essential to be more discerning and pray to attract the nontoxic ones. I have to fight negative thoughts Every day too

Hi Mandy, you helped me so I hope this helps you. I hated the stigma of taking an anti-depressant but one day I just decided that I was a better me with the help than without it. I have had a wonderful marriage, job and a pretty good mom and I like to think that me being on the anti-depressant has helped with this. It took a good 3 weeks when I decided to take it daily for them to help. I am on Zoloft 50mg daily and it has been a Godsend. Hang in there and work with your doctor to get on the one, dosage, etc that you need. I am hopeful you will find some relief like I did. I still have moments that are difficult but they are much more manageable than they were before my medicine. Hugs and warm thoughts to you sweet girl.

Messages like this makes my heart joyful. Today was my first day, still haven't felt that much. But i could focus on my work and didn't feel so tired as usual. Tomorrow will be a big challenge for me ( i will share with you guys) cause i will have to leave work and head straight to college ( way too demanding at times) but i'm hanging in there. Thank you so much for your support, you have no idea how much it means to me
