Feel like meds are not working for me

[Charlie485]

Hello

It’s been a while since I last posted on here but I suffer from anxiety and depression but depression is starting to fade away, my GP has put me on different courses of medication for my anxiety but they don’t feel like they are working I suffer more from side effects which is now starting to worry me for trying new medication out.

I have very bad social anxiety even thought about going out makes want to be sick and (sorry for this) I get slight diarrhoea which makes me always fell like I’m going to get a sickness bug, anxiety and the depression was the cause for me losing my job and now I’m struggling to even think about getting back into work because I start kicking up again with nausea and runs. I even struggle dropping my children off to school everyday and also picking them up, I even feel like my partner is even starting to give up with me because she struggled enough with my problems bless her.

If it is antidepressants you are on the do take a long time be be effective. Hang on in there, you will start to feel better.

Hi Charlie,

Its nice to touch base with you again after we last posted a year ago. Did you ever try any of the therapies that were in the leaflet you GP gave you please?

Perhaps it would be worth talking to the GP again and asking them about mindfulness or CBT. What do you think Charlie?

Best wishes and please keep posting on here, and let us all know how you are getting on.

Hello it has been a little while since I was last on here, I am on the waiting list for an appointment for a CBT session I have been waiting since April sadly.
