Depression.

Don't fkk with depression. I did, for a few years now. I have a GP that would give me anything. She put me on Cipralex a few years back. When I felt I could cope, I took myself off.

A couple of months ago, I felt I needed it again - she prescribed it and I was back on it. I also started going to a psychologist. Again, I stopped everything when I thought I could cope.

Everything came crashing down 2 weeks ago.

Monday I was checked into a clinic. I'll be here for 2 weeks. I'm under a psychiatrist now who is dispensing the correct meds for my problems. I'm on 20mg Lorien and .25g Alzam at night. I was so nervous coming in but I'm settling down. I'm here to just get away from society, my problems and life. I have intensive therapy each day to help me deal with the way forward. I'm on day 4 and I can already feel a weight lifting.

Good luck!

Oh yeah as mentioned. Cilift is known to suppress libido. But the delayed orgasm is a bonus!

There's delayed orgasm, and then there's a complete and utter inability to orgasm and/or maintain an erection.

The latter is pretty goddamned annoying hah.

Good luck to you EMAM!
 
Yirre. I started back on the Cilift. It's nothing like the 1st time.

Now I have stomach knots, nausea, anxiety (I've lost 4Kg)...really not enjoying the side effects. I've even cut way back on alcohol to reduce the effects.
Hopefully it won't last much longer, although I still need to ramp up from the 10mg to 40mg eventually....

Starting Serlife tomorrow and have Urbanol for severe attacks (Doubt I will need it). Anyway finally got the balls and went to the doc.

Did urbanol work for you? I have some around and it's never affected me , had to ask for rivotril instead.

My experience with the SSRI I was on was about two months of extraordinarily unpleasant side effects, extreme nausea and tiredness being the main culprits. This completely cleared up thought after a time.

The point I'm making is that if you need to be on the meds, it's worth pushing through.

Personally, I've elected to cope without meds. It's not easy...

Yeah thanks Copa. Tried without them and it wasn't working so spoke to the doctor. Took first dose last night and was / still sick in the middle of the night until now. I've had nausea anyway but this was vomiting etc. Not sure if it was the med itself as the reaction was very extreme.

Going to hold off on taking one tonight and try on Friday and see if it makes me sick.
 
Ended up taking one last night and feeling miff today but not as bad as yesterday. Will see how the weekend treats me
 
I thought Cipralex would be good enough for depression.

Are these things prescribed because stuff like that doesn't work? Asking because Cipralex is listed as an anti-depressant whereas Urbanol and Rivotril are for seizures, panic attacks etc.

I was on Cipralex.....it kinda worked - my GP used to just prescribe it for me. I used to go on and off it at my own will until I had a melt down just over a month ago and landed up in a clinic for 2 weeks. Saw a psychiatrist who diagnosed me properly and has put me on the rights meds - I'm on lomotrigine, Lorien and alzam.....I've never felt better.

I don't believe GP's should have any right to prescribe psych meds.

Strongs EMAM - must have been hideous. Guessing it's difficult to get the right diagnosis and more difficult to get the right meds.

Thanks!
Was the best thing I've ever done and I recommend a clinic to anyone going through depression.
