Depression Support Thread

cat64

Hi everyone, sorry I don't have as much chance to keep up with the threads as I would like, but I hope everyone is doing ok.

I'm feeling a bit fed up at the moment, went to the docs as I've been getting this sort of irregular heartbeat thing, bit like palpations I suppose. She took blood pressure and found it to be on the high side, she basically said that the ADs I've been on for donkeys years (albeit at the lowest dose it's possible to take) are no longer prescribed as often as they have been found to cause high bp and heart problems in certain people.

She wants me to cut them down and then possibly think about changing over to a different AD.

Problem is, I feel depressed pretty much constantly anyway, don't know how it would be if I tried to cut down even more. I also get very :mad: not nice for family who I'm afraid get the brunt of my bad temper.

Feeling particularly weepy today, feel let down by a friend, have pmt and OH away.
Sorry to vent to you all, particularly as I don't contribute much to the thread, but you were all so supportive last time I was on here.

Hugs (cant find the smiley) to everyone xx

Thanks meyore (where DO you find that smiley?!! - getting frustrated!). Just feel I'm not offering support but asking for it myself.....

meyore

Is it venlafaxine you're on? My mum is and shes just had a meeting with the doctor saying the exact same thing.
