In reply to losing hope-- will any meds ever work for me?, posted by frillyknickers on August 26, 2008, at 21:58:24
Hi I too have been through the wringer with meds, my body is so sensitive to every side effect known to man, esp those anxiety causing ones.. here is a thought, I have been on LUVOX for over 2 years now and I have actually felt great. I was ready to give up and so was my doc, he was frying my head with shock thearapy and psych ward; insane to say the least. I took matters into my own hands and gave it a try.. voila, it worked. Unlike other SSRI's it doesnt cause the brain dead, fog and anxiety drug induced feelings that most do. Im not saying there is no side effects.. but they are less, and more tolerable. I find I have to go to the bathroom more and I am a lil sleepy just after taking the med (nothing a coffee, or brisk walk wont fix)but it won't make you feel stoned or irritable or full of anxiety... that was my findings. I hope this helps.
