just home a week now,after an anxiety free holiday,we had such a brill time,since coming home each day I am sinking lower into depression,I have no energy,no motivation,heart racing,and headaches and feeling like im going to fall,can anyone tell me of a very mild antidepressant,just need to lift my mood a bit,I hate every day,its so boring,my husband is great and we get on so well,but im not looking forward to things anymore,I have trouble with a/ds side effects,but mayby someone of you can give me the name of one thats easy to take....heres hoping..xxxxxxx

St Johns Wort is good but takes a few weeks to work,can't take with other meds.Read the label,some are not very strong.It is supposed to lift your mood.I believe the doctors in Germany prescripe it,would do any harm to look at that on the web.

You couild try some Valerian tablets they work quite well. Cheer up, its hard I know We must stick together and give each other a little strength. Sending a little love and extra energy you way from cotonroad

thank you all for your comments,I did take one st johns wort tablet,it made me feel spacy and sick,so i didn't take any more,I should have given it time,I am a coward where meds are concerned,I have a med phobia,I see others taking a/ds and feeling better after few weeks,and I envy them,I am so afraid to do this.its good to hear other peoples suggestions ,I know I have to do something...love to you all xxxxxx

Hi miarose

Same here when it comes to meds anxiety

Don't think of yourself as a coward though , its another part of anxiety

I do try to think what ever I am taking , its to make me better

If you do try something we will all try & help you get through your fear

Try & take comfort in knowing its anxiety or you wouldn't have had such a good holiday

Also you no you are not on your own

Love

tnx for replying whywhy,how are you getting on with your meds,I recall you had a problem with taking them too.,I had so many scares from meds ,that I even look up vitamins now before I take them.how sad is that .I was thinking of starting something and just staying in bed for a week or two until I get used to them,and my hubby is all for this,but I keep putting it off,the fact that a/ds can lose their effectiveness and you have to up the dose or change to another puts me off.having anxiety for the last 30 years,I could write a book on meds I tried,and to be honest ,do they really help atall.I am in limbo,and don't know what to do for the best,sorry for ranting on,but its great to write things down,and get them off my chest,and know that you all understand ,and remember I am here for you too,if you need support. xxxxx
