Bournemouth,

I take it that's where you are from in the UK? :-)

I know exactly how you feel, when SSRIs really work then they make you feel less anxious, more motivated, more alive, more emotional (in a good way) when they don't work properly then they make you feel like you have felt on them. I know because I have had both types of reaction to them.

I also like you (this time round) went on Nardil and it made me feel exactly as you describe. Infact I tried it about three times. the first time I felt sort of stoned on it, the third time, more relaxed but even more depressed. Doesn't make sense does it, how can an antidepressant make you feel more depressed.

Anyway, I feel for you because you are only young and you sound so nice, sensible and grounded.

I would do as some of the others have suggested and maybe try stimulants, also I have found Zyprexa very good in helping me with anxiety and actually a small amount now and again can make you feel like you've slept soundly and less tired.


I think constant tension/anxiety (althouh maybe not severe) because it's constant and relentless can make you feel exhausted, listless and apathetic.


I hope you find something soon.

Denise
