Marie, did they take you off them all in one go? I thought they preferred to ease patients off them. Like wean you off them, because of the effects of 'withdrawal' have they offered you another coping mechanism? Any counselling? Might be worth talking to someone as much as we can be at the end of the computer, there's nothing like face to face contact/chat! Best of luck x

I weaned myself off them 5 months go ended in hospital after break down I've been OK but the anxiety is coming back I think it's because I'm in limbo as to what's wrong with me and I'm just do fed up x

I really think you should speak to your GP and find out what is available to you. You don't have to go back on anti-depressants if you don't want to it is totally your choice, but counselling will help with the anxiety. There was a great programme which is available on the Jeremy Vine show a few days ago. I recommend listening back to it if you can. It might be worth having something to look forward to too! Finding a focus can help with the feeling of being fed up! Do speak to your GP, combat anything before it starts. x

hi Marie1980x

I agree with Chelle_ - please discuss with your GP &/or liver team and ask for counselling/psychological support and whether you may need to restart your antidepressants

good luck and best wishes

Hey! do not let this get you you down. I have good days and bad days so you are not alone on this. On days I'm down I either visit friends who I know will cheer me up, or I get on my drum kit and knock the hell out of them. I feel better after that, but it's not a wise thing at 3am but I have done that. You could always log into this site an see if any one wants to chat. Be positive....

Hi hun, I have been where you are now .I suffer anxiety, and depression and insomnia and tiredness , it affects my every day life. I have two courses of CBT, the best thing I ever did .first three weeks it had no affect but as I read the paperwork and started my anxiety diary I slowly became more capable of dealing with my thoughts and feelings. Yes I am on meds for anxiety and im.on sertraline for depression among other tablets due to stage 4 cirrohsis. I do get down myself so you are not alone. Please see your doctor , don't suffer any longer hun, get some help with your children if you can to take a break. These feelings are normal and you can come through it

If I can then I know you can. 😊xx
