Hi David. Changing meds can change all your hormone levels. So it's only normal you'd feel this way. Give these meds time to settle into your system and your body will soon accept them. I hope these work better for you. There are so many meds out there so it can be a tough journey finding the right ones for you. Please keep in mind that you feel tearful because of this change. The way I try to think of it is that the emotions aren't real and they are being forced into my head. I think like this when I feel negative and sensitive before my time of the month and keep tearing up. I just tell myself to behave because it will pass. Obviously this doesn't help when something big happens in life. But I just mean that it helps to think like this if I know it's my period or meds causing it.

All the best xx

Hi David. Ah my heart goes out to you, changing Meds could have

Affected you, but it's always hard to say what cause these mood shifts.

I think we look for reasons to reassure ourselves, I think the reality

Is that sometimes " there is no reason".

My advice is dont fight against it, try and just go with it and I'm sure

You will feel a bit better soon. We never stay in the one mood for

Too long.

You know that we are here anyway to give you a hand. Take

Care of yourself David. I know it's not easy at times like this.

You will never, ever be a burden to anyone here and your posts are always wanted and welcomed. I don't have any experience of that particular type of medication, but I know that I am really sensitive to mine and even the slightest alteration sends my hormones haywire! Is there a possibility of them not reducing it by so much during the night, or doing it more gradually? x
