ok, so after a few months on trazodone, im now switching meds to tiflaxin XL (slow release venlafaxine)
my doc is lovely and i trust her, so heres to hoping! so far tried the above, and fluoxetine (prozac) which made me stupidly anxious and irritable. amyltriptaline which made me too tired to function. The amyltriptaline (spelling almost certainly wrong) and the trazodone did work a bit, but the side effects were too much to bear, and suddenly (in the last 3-4 weeks) the trazodone just seemed to stop working.
sorry, i realise this is a boring post, but its just before 7am, sunday here, and im bored, lonely and dont want to wake up my little boy or my friend who slept over.

i havent taken my 1st venlafaxine yet, and Im quite worried about it, but i know its not really me thats worried, its my anxiety that is worried. I will take it later with breakfast.

i just wish i could feel 'normal for me' again i have such a tight stomach and breathing feels so hard sometimes, I just want to be able to eat normally and have the energy to get up and clean the house and do my uni work, without feeling like i ran a couple of marathons. Im really hoping this will help me get there.

so, here we go, day one with the n00bie drug. wish me luck, and feel free to tell me about your own experiences.
