I am so sorry to hear that. I really do hope things get better for you. I know these niceties and platitudes do not change much, but I do mean it when I say that you strike me as someone that is stronger than they know and that you are worthy of happiness.
Do not feel the need to reply to this, trust me I know what you mean with being overwhelmed and not able to reply to messages. Take care x


Thanks guys.

Ha, yeah. Mine took a few months to get me clinic letters, from before/around the start the start of the pandemic, they were bad before but waiting months was kind of a joke. Especially as asking my psychiatrist about it she had apparently already dictated them, doubt it but whatever I guess.

Don't expect anything from them. They're not worth the annoyance they cause tbh.
Hi all,

Hope you're doing well.
It's been a while but I've popped back on to ask a couple of questions about some antidepressants my Doctor has recommended to me.

I've tried Fluoxetine and Sertraline. Side effects hit me hard and they didn't help any even when I stuck with them through the initial side effects.
I stopped taking Sertraline myself around March.
Now my Dr is recommending I go back on medication, and has suggested either Mirtazapine or Duloxetine.

I would appreciate if any of you could tell me about your experience with either of these drugs.
I know each persons experience is different, but it might help me make my decision if I have an idea of other people's experiences.

Doesn't make much sense, if you don't see it soon, then you could ask for your GP to print out a letter (ask the receptionist).

Not particularly, but I have to stay awake as I have a cardiology appointment in about an hour. Then I'll go back to bed.

Hi.

I take mirtazipine and it’s the first anti-depressant that has actually worked for me. It’s honestly been amazing. The only major side effect I’ve had from it is the tiredness so definitely take it at night. After I’ve been on a dose for about a week the tiredness during the day massively improved. Now I hardly notice any side effects unless I try and stay awake hours after taking the tablet. I’ve been on it for over 2 years now.

Good luck.

Yeah, it was (just had it), think it's because it was an urgent appointment so they just shove you in where possible).
