Antidepressants

Just wondering what meds people are i am on mirtazapine . Propanadol. And 5 days amatriptalyine for nerves in face x

What a coincidence Ive finally met someone with nerves in their face.I was on all those meds but none of them agreed with me, probably because I have a sensitive stomach.I didnt like mirtazipine as I was hyper and agitated on them,but everyone is different.Ive tried everything for face pain but still have it constantly.Let me know how you get on.Take care.

Im the same nothing helps so Ive decided to give up trying.All the meds I was on in2014 and 2015 cracked me up so I would rather suffer

I dont no if they helping me but i too scared not to have them 😢 its so hard x

I know what you mean vic being ill is such a struggle.Dont get me wrong I take duloxetine but when I took the other meds I was either anxious,frightened and crying or depressed.Im not better but just coping but I do find it lonely most days.

I am lonely dont feel like anyone understands me , i have my kids they keep me going but i still lonely .. just wish i could get rif of this virus etc and feel better x

I wish I could help you its bad enough not feeling right without managing kids,you are doing well coping with that.Dont you think its the mirtazipine thats making you anxious.I dont want you to worry but they are for depression and to lift you out of it and not for anxiety,thats where I went wrong.

So sorry to hear you lost your mum its a devastating thing to happen,no wonder you feel ill. my daughter doesnt care about me and the last few years has been quite nasty to me so it would have been lovely to have someone like you who really cares.It takes a long time to heal from what you have gone through but have faith vic you will get there. love and kisses

Hello,,, I am currently on Citalopram just started on it so its a bit early to say but I do feel like I have not got any lower than I was, I was as low as I have been for some time. I have also had mirtazapine in the past, I don't know when you take yours but I was told to take mine at night half an hour before bed and I must admit I did get a good nights sleep for a while, then you get used to them ...... I did also find that I felt like I had been drugged up having no energy to get out of bed & lost my drive & enthusiasm. I was on Amitriptyline for a few years & that was for pain which again short term was ok. I do empathize with you Vic so sorry to hear about your Mum. We think they are going to be with us for ever. I lost my Dad on valentines day in 2012 & lost my Mum 18months later 20th October 2014. I moved back home in 2009 relationship break up, but I can't explain but I knew I had to go home. I was their full time carer & working full time too. I miss them both so very much, I am still suffering with the loss. I have got to the point where I have accepted they have gone, every day I don't know how I get through, but I do. It will never be normal for me, but I look at it now with a positive attitude and it will be a different kind of normal. I think we do need the medication support but it is a trial & error method of getting the right one for you. I also think that being able to share our thoughts and feelings and experience on here & similar places is of great help & comfort definitely for me. I hope Bengal2013, that your daughter does come round and realise that you only get one Mum... Looking after my parents in their last years and months & days of their lives taught me how to really love unconditionally, in my heart I knew the greatest gift I could give to them was to look after & care for them at home & not put them into care homes or hospices. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Keep going we will get there xx
