Stopped taking Antidepressants due sweating.

[Tray]

About three months ago I couldn't cope with side effects they were making me feel dirty.

I've hit rock bottom again, anything that doesn't melt us or make us fat?

I'm considering electro pulse therapy.

Hello Tray, I understand completely how frustrating some side effects can be with some medications, I have had them myself. However, if you were prescribed antidepressants this was for a reason, because you need them.

I would advise you to speak to your GP about this as clearly you cannot manage sufficiently without them. By hitting rock bottom you will have no doubt encountered withdrawal from these meds too which would make anyone feel low and awful.

By speaking to your GP about this, I am sure there could be antidepressants that would agree with you better with less side effects. You would then feel better and more able to cope. We have enough to contend with with our Fibro, sometimes we need a bit of extra help.

I hope you get some results from this and that you feel better really soon. Please let us know how you get on seeing your GP.

Here's a hug for you (((hug))) x

Hi , sympathies I too have hit rock bottom in the past before I found the right anti depressants for me . Add to that a low dose muscle relaxant and I get sleep and have no horrible side effects .. These anti depressants were the 3rd lot I tried so please go back to your gp and explain how you feel... Write a list or letter beforehand and hand it over that's what I have had to resort to in the past when I felt so low I couldn't explain myself without bursting into tears

Good luck

Thank you all for the support. I have been I touch with my Doctor (head Doctor) at the Hospital that I'm under, she has promised me that Prozac will not make me sweat or put more weight on. I really do hope so because I really can not cope with being drenched again.

I also think a couple of hours a week working would help too, but who would give a job to a person with depression/anxiety & Fibromyalgia With no skills?

I am in the same situation but unwilling to change my anti depressants as they work for me otherwise.

I am sure there is something you can do even if it is working in a charity shop helping to sort the goods behind the scenes. They always need help and I'm sure they'd be sympathetic to your needs.
