I was on SEROXAT but was taken off them by a doctor cold turkey, and had a book thrown at me in the surgery by a doctor, and was told to find my own drugs, stupidly I did nothing about it. I personally think the doctors give you a pill, and you have to believebin your ow mind they will do good, but there are side effects, and Weight gain, which does not help the depression but was told to choose between weight and for the depression to go, but afterv5 years in them, I have the weight gain and still have the depression, but they wont change them, also on Valium for many years.

Hi there
So which medications are you currently taking now? And you are saying you are unhappy with how these meds are working or not working? I think that you are your best advocate and if your medications are not doing what they are supposed to be doing or causing you side effects you do not wish to have...it is time to seek new treatment and/or a new doctor.
I hope things work out for you...thank you for your question.

Thankyou for your e mail regarding 15mgs of Cipralex, I am also on 20mgs of Valium, which have been on for over 30 years, also on Propranalol 80mgs SR twice a day and a 100mcg of Throid. I am under a hospital and they will not change the tablets in any way, I am told that I have had this anxiety far too long, and it has become part of me,
I am very depressed, and was with a doctor who threw a drugs book at me, and told me to choose my own drug, so I changed my doctor and was put on the Cipralex. with my other tablets.
I am too afraid to change the pills because of the side effects of withdrawal. I am a very lonely person, and have more or less lived in fear all my life since a child, I am now a senior citizen. So The medical people I see just will not change any pill, but tell me to up them, but I feel doped every morning after taking the tablets.
I asked if I could take the Cipralex at night, but they both refused, they said I would not sleep,or have bad dreams. Can you please help me. I am sick of crying. My husband also has Altizimers,
I seem better when I have people to talk to i.e. a woman friend but where I live they all work.
I seem to live in the past and am so afraid of the future. Please e mail me back.
Many Thanks from blossombargh@hotmail.com
