Anti depressants work differently on people. I have tried many anti depressants over the past 10 years and they have all made me feel worse. They seem to make me feel so low my mood stays low is what I'm trying to say. I cant get my mood back up no matter what I try so I am waiting to see a psychiatrist again because I feel like I'm fighting and losing battle, there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. I have to rely on the beta blockers to stop the anxiety symptoms.

Your higher mg might take a week or two to get into your system. If you still feel the same go back to your gp and tell them.

I have had to beg for help from my gp in the past as I have felt like I cant be here anymore.

Hope I have made sense,

Take care x

Dear Roserose, I think there comes a time when meds don't work anymore. Raising the dose or substituting other medications can help but if they don't then it's probably best the doctor suggests some alternative therapies. A life style change both physically and emotionally may be warranted. Take care.
