Hi Linkadge,
Thanks for the response. I guess my options aren't really that limited right now. 40mg of Seroxat is helping me now in that I feel life is bearable and that at least I can get through it rather than "how am I going to get through another day, nevermind the rest of my life" and when people say "life is too short" I don't think no it's not "it's far too long".
But in the meantime I know deep down what a mess I am without the 40mg of Seroxat and don't get me wrong I'm really grateful that it's working, I just wish there was some way I could get to a lower dose without feeling bad again and was hoping ECT would do that. I just hate the thought that me without medication is sooooo bad.
If I thought, well without medication I'd feel low but not suicidal it wouldn't be as bad if you know what I mean.I want to make progress but at the moment am just in limbo land, probably be ok to spend the rest of my life on 40mg of Seroxat, can work etc but I know deep down the problem (whatever it is) is still there.
Denise
