Getting impatient more lately.

[NiBa5]

I feel more and more inpatient recently with a long struggle with PAWS from antidepressant and a subsequent severe depression. I’ve recovered a lot but not enough to go back to work. I’m alone with 2 cats. . I know I have to wait till my brain will be back to normal. But I’so miserable. Morning is particularly tough.

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery! That's great!👍

Thank you for your response again. Truly appreciated it. How’s your condition?

I’ve been getting better but its progress is extremely slow. It’s like as if invisible most of the time.... it’s like “weed grows”

Im scared to death wondering what if my brain won’t come back again🙀😱

And morning is a real “h*ll”.

Hugs

You're welcome.😊 I'm doing okay, thanks for asking.

Have you talked to your doctor about your concerns? Any concerns you have are real to you and therefore shouldn't be dismissed, so I would mention them to your doctor if you're worried.

Thank you for your response. My doc knows it. There’s nothing he can do except telling me to be patient till my brain neurotranmussion will be back to normal. That’s all about. I’ve been on Prozac.

[Hidden in reply to NiBa5]

I know it's hard to be patient. I hate it myself. Please try, though🙂

I hope for your sake that you get better sooner rather than later.

[NiBa5 in reply to Hidden]

Me too. I hate to try to be patient. It’s been so long. Brain recovery is so slow. But I have no other choice 😓

Morning is bad for a lot of us. Give yourself time to recover.

What has your Doctor advise regards withdrawal of medications.

You will get better given help and encouragement

Thank you for reaching out . Much appreciated it. My psych knows my condition. It’s no longer the withdrawal stage. I’m waiting for my brain neurotransmisdion functioning will be fully come back that’s takes time.

I think I’m in a similar way. 2 weeks in on lexipro. My first words to my therapist are always “I’m impatient!” And then at the 6 week mark what if it isn’t helping! I’m so negative. Have you read about Ketamine for depression/anxiety? I’m curious as they day its quick to help.

[NiBa5]

Thank you for reaching out. I've been suffering from the Lexapro withdrawal=PAWS. My brain is getting better slowly....but its hard to be patient.

I think you just started Lexapro right? Antidepresssnt needs a time to kick in. It really takes time. I truly hope it'll work for you.

My condition is different from depression/anxiety ....so I don't know much about ketamine
