AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I'm in the prosses of switching my anti-depresants and it's scaring me coz I've had to come of my meds completely for one week. It sounds nothing in the scheme of things but do something very rude to a duck, it's hard. I've been told to start my new meds on tuesday to alow the prozac to clear from my system. I never thought I'd miss prozac but I do. I'm all over the place and It's been the longest week of my life. I'm really scared and antsy and I don't know if I can cope...I'm repeting myself aren't I? This is probably a pschosymatic response rather than a real one but I reacted very badly to something last night that I shouldn't have done. I'm also running out of tobaco which doesn't put me in the best of moods anyway. I just want to cry...I've also had my meds cut back to 10mgs from 20 so we'll have to see. The thing is prozac induces false euphoria in me and I have to be off it to feel anything at a real level. Cytolopram has worked best for me in the past but who knows? I'll keep you all updated.

Hope things are going OK!Not many days before you you start the new anti-depressants but, it's going to be a few weeks before they start kicking in. Hope the transition isn't too painful!

I'm all too familiar with these routines - many years ago I found Prozac was a brilliant aid to creativity! Citalopram is something I only went on to when I was having a big wrangle, lots of hassle, with the DWP earlier this year. Before that I was happily coasting along sans pharmaceutical aids.

It would help if I could be bothered to take my citolopram.
I'm looking at controling my depression by a combination of diet and excersise, but part of me wonders wether I'm self disciplined enough. Right now I'm looking at a trytophan rich diet but nothing much is coming of that. I'm also writing a play wich is scaring the life out of, it's very close to home and I don't know wether to laugh or cry but I have just posted about that so I won't reiterate here.
Anyway, I must be off to bed as it's getting on and I need my sleep before I go totaaly nuts.
God bless my love.
