[nenee]

Hi there

Im at my worst right now you could say i feel life is not worth getting up for

iv suffered with neck and shoulder pain for months since the birth of my baby girl, im anxious, crying angry, cant sleep etc

iv been on dosulepin and i started to feel normal again, BUT i started with a awful rash under my nose and chin which is a sign the meds dont agree with me so iv some off them and i feel pretty ill right now..

my neck pain had gone and now its back and im crying all the time, i dont know what to do im desperate..

is this normal of pnd and what meds helped you as im scared to take them as i took citrolopam which made me feel so ill, is there a good med out there that actually works? my doctor is not very sympathetic in fact i hate going to see him...

any adice please would be more than welcomed

cheers

Hi I'm back after the worst few weeks ever!

I dont know where I posted in another thread to get the reply u did?

So iv come back here if that's ok:-(

I'm going round in circles iv started back on dosulepin and had forgotten that it gave me spots etc ( I know iv got bad brain fog) I carried on having the rash under my nose after I stopped them so thought I'd try them again and I'm so spotty iv also got red spots on my legs and neck so I'm not sure if it's a true allergy or wat to do

I can't carry on feeling so I'll and physically iv never looked so bad I feel so ugly

I'm crying every day and feel suicidal at times which embarrassed to say

I just don't know wat to do I'm scared of taking another ad as I tried citrolopam which made my insomnia worse and I felt really fluey and so tired I couldnt function as a mum to 3 kids and when I read all the negative talks about AD's it puts me off even more

Wat can I do I'm so desperate ;-(

Hey sweetie and welcome back
I do remember replying to your other thread too but for the life of me can't remember where it has gone! So apologies for that.
Firstly, of course its ok for you to come back here, you are most welcome here any time you need support...you are not alone although i know it feels as if you're the only one suffering.
It certainly sounds as though the rash may be an allergic reaction to the drugs but i guess the only real way of knowing is to go back to your gp and ask? They may suggest a different drug, there are so many different ones to try that there is bound to be the right one out there for you. It took me 3 or 4 different changes before i found the right one that helped me but it took time.
Do you have anyone you can talk to? Please please please don't feel embarrassed about feeling suicidal, many of the ladies on here have dealt with these thoughts including me and it is absolutely nothing to feel ashamed of. However, you do need to try and talk to someone to offload how you are feeling...is there any possiblity of having some kind of talking therapy? You could ask your gp or your Health Visitor about this or go for it privately if you are able. Often a combination of the right drug along with some form of counselling is the way forward.
You do not have to feel this way, there are people out there who can help you you just need to try and reach out for the help. If you do find that your feelings intensify there is always the samaritans to ring....you can always write on here how you are feeling and there will usually be someone around to support you.
sending you massive hugs and letting you know that it will get better and you are not alone xxx
