Aww. I know the feeling. What you’re feeling won’t last forever. You’re strong, brave and honest with yourself. You’re a fighter, it’s okay to cry. Keep your head up. You’ll get through this. Close your eyes, and breaaaaath

Thankyou for your response Tytypop, it’s nice to have positive feed back cause I guess as you know you think your the only one going through it then to find there are other people suffering too

I take phenylalanine which I buy from Holland&Barrett in uk it is brilliant for depression if the antidepressants you were taking were ssri and they didn't work I suggest you try phenylalanine which promotes dopamine which is the opposite of serotonin

However anyone with bipolar disorder shouldn't take phenylalanine as it can.trigger mania

I am now just taking half of a 500mg tablet a day in the morning as I was getting a bit of insomnia even though I was feeling great

If your depression is due to lack of dopamine you should try phenylalanine and I guess you won't know until you try it

Thankyou lillyofthevalley37 I will look into them

Generally you need to give medications time to work changing to different names can be problematic it can generally take upwards of five weeks to even begin feeling any better.

Anxiety and Depression need time to recover from so changing medications can make it problematic

If not already, talk to your Doctor and then give the drugs time to work
