Anti depressants

[Deleted member]

This!! That’s why I stopped taking them Ork. I’ve been off them for a week and for the first Saturday in a long time I’m actually awake! I was just exhausted all the time & then developed insomnia too. I’m not sure what the answer is but Sertraline did not agree with me at all

It agrees with me better than fluoxetine. Our friend died in October at 41 leaving behind 3 kids and I couldn’t even shed a single tear when I was on that. I’m in home renovating hell just now and actually got a bit tearful this morning so at least I can still feel on the sertraline thus far.

I cope with the sleepiness on weekdays as I need to do the school run and get my backside to work but I’m terrible at the weekend,I used to like being up early and productive I think all antidepressants/anti anxiety meds have terrible downsides. It’s just what is the lesser evil. I wasn’t coping at all without them.

I had insomnia and very very lucid dreams!

I've recently started taking citalopram and am having very bad nightmares. Hoping that stops soon. Has anyone else noticed a rapid decline in their libido since starting anti depressants?

Do you take it in the morning or night. I take mine in the morning and have never had nightmares but someone i knows takes it at night and suffered crazy vivid dreams

How is everyone coping with the lockdown? I have to have doctor's appointments over the phone which aren't the same I've run out of meds and have put off sorting them out as I'm not sure they even helped (Started new ones)
