I cant take my medication anyone

[Redgreenblue]

I have had to stop taking my medication again cause the side effects are becoming too much of a issue, and essentially making me feel worse.

I have another appointment booked with doctor but I was on my last antidepressant to try... doctor said last time we have tried you on all the others but had to stop cause I could not handle the side effects.

Concerned without medication that my anxiety and depression might get worse. Has anyone else and similar problems?

Hi red ,green and blue im sorry to see your having such problems with you medication i dont know what youve tried but venlafaxine or citalopram are usually well tolerated i take about 225mg venefaxine in the morning then about 100mg at night without any problems ! Good luck with your doctor

citalopram is what I have just had to stop, its worked in the past for me but now I'm having bad side effects, ill mention venefaxine to the doctor to see if its one i have taken previously. thank you

I’m going through the same thing and it is beyond frustrating. I’m running out of options I haven’t tried and I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety my entire life. I just started taking venlafaxine 3 days ago but I’m not sure I’ll continue it because of the withdrawal concerns and side effects not being worth it. I just wanted you to know you aren’t alone. Reach out if you need to

sad that your going through same thing, glad to know its not just me though. I would normally try to say to stick it out for a while cause the side effects should reduce after a while of taking the medication but sometimes they just don't. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that you don't get side effects.

I have had to change meds due to side effects. I hope you find something that works.

Praying you find relief.
