Still Carnt belive I'm not smoking. Hardly crave anymore

Iv still got anxity but I trip to the docs today and my cardiologist app as bin conformed for November.. I'm also bin put on beta blockers as they think my heart is going too fast so it's giving me nervouse energy.. And hopefully the tablets will help.

Congratulations on your 6 months Shelley. A great achievement especially as you've had a lot to go through. Hope everything goes well with your appointments.

Hi Shelley, yes, I got put on sertraline and they gave me nausea and I didn't eat anything for 2 weeks. Went back on Friday and got some pills to stop the nausea and they worked so at least I'm eating again but they made me sleep most of the time. I've stopped taking them now but still can't get motivated. Still lying in bed watching DVDs. I don't feel depressed or anxious, in fact I feel quite good as if I was on tranquillisers but I'm not. I keep thinking, tomorrow I'm going to do this and that but it takes me all my time to make a cup of tea. Maybe they are too strong for me. Back to the doc on Friday. At least I'm not smoking.

Hope your beta blockers work. I was on them for a while during the menopause and they worked great.

It's all tril and error when it comes to Anti depresents. Sometimes ur lucky to find the first thing will work. But it's a pain in the bum..

Just hope u get there soon una..

Big well done!

Hi Shelley, really well done on your 6 month quit. I can remember you when you were first quitting and posting and all the stuff you went through. You have been fantastic on this forum and you have done really well to stay quit given all the things you have had to go through. Be proud of your self. I am so happy for you because I think you are starting to get things sorted out now. I am not sure, but just check with your GP if you can still run when taking bets blockers and if you can do you fancy doing a 5k fun run in the new year? I will have a look and see if there are any round Stoke and I would do it with you if you like?

Thanks Shelley.

I googled cyclizine and seemingly they can make you very sleepy. I took the last one yesterday so maybe tomorrow I'll get back to normal.

Sounds like you have had an awful time Una. I hope these tablets work for you, must be skin and bone by now with not eating. That is not right in its self. Is the depression any better now?
