Hugs for you Kitt, I'm glad that you can say this out loud, I know where you are coming from. I don't want to patronise by saying join a club or something but it really can help spark some new...
Hello Scotsgal, Sorry you are not feeling better today. Im not very good with the whole 'advice' thing, but I recognise a few of your thoughts in me, probably for completely different reasons though....
Hello, I dont normally post over here, but wanted to share something that might be new info for some of you, or could be 'old hat', not sure. My mom had breast cancer and has now finished her...
Hi Kisses, I was on prozac, but only lasted about 5 months on it, I had horrible headaches and nightmares for about 2-3 weeks when i started. After that, my doctor upped the dose as they didn't seem...
im ok, thanks guys wizzer...
Thanks for the replies. I guess I should go and talk to my doc then. He has been really helpful and supportive, don't want him telling me off, thought he might be pleased for me, not annoyed!! Thanks...
Can I just ask a question? Hope you don't think I am stupid, but do you need your doc's supervision to come off you meds? I am on prozac and have been reducing the dose myself as I want to come off...
Hi Victoria, I'm on Fluoxetine. I have never taken and ad's before, so this is my first experience. They seemed to take an absolute age to kick in, my doc upped my dose a couple of times since...

Hello all. Thanks for all your posts, it really lifted my spirits up when I came home. All went well and exactly as expected, so thankfully no surpirses. I feel like I have been hit by a truck...

Hey Slowly, Its great that you have finally made that decision to sign off work. Trouble is, I'm guessing that you can't wait now for it to happen so you can take a step back and start looking out...
Hi Silver Lining, Elisha, as usual has offered some excellent advice. It sounds to me like you are maybe running with the crowd? Do you ever think about your own goals and what you would like to do?...

Hi All, Thanks for the input. I will try reading something different in bed! Don't know if I will go as far as a romance, but I will put down the stephen king for a bit. Maybe my brain is jumbling...
Thanks ShynSassy, Reassuring to know its probably the meds, not so reasurring that it was 2 years after you stopped takin them that they went away! How did you cope with this?? I have been waking up...
