Yeah me too, with the dry mouth, i was on fluoxetine a while back, i also found they made me drowsy which helped when i took them on night. Wish i had them now to help with the sleep. You did great getting there and getting the help you need, give yourself the biggest pat on the back hun. Hope you're ok today luv bean x

hi everyone im so sorry its been so long i really hope everyones ok?? i dont want any one to feel iv f**ked of ever since i got my prescription, iv been thinking about evryone so much just seems iv been so busy and these tablets make me so drowsy all i want to do is sleep lol which is good just doesnt give me any spare time. up all day ocupied with aleisha then asleep at night. im trying so hard to keep my eyes open right now!! i feel so much better i havnt had a bad day for a long while now im still scared that its just going to come back and when i come off the pills im ging to be right back where i started again. i dont wana sound like a druggie but i am scared that when i tell them im ok they take me off the pills and then i feel how i did before. but even if they dont take me off them im scared il be dependent on them for the rest of my life needing them and if i go a day without them ill go back to what i was!!! or even worse im just happy because i think i should be as im on medication now and reality could hit me at any time and wham back to that state. the more i think about it the more i dread it typical me though i should just be happy with how things are at the moment!!! believe me i am so greatful! just hope it lasts i feel like me i feel laid back chilled out me still a bit rough round the edges but none the less im me!! honestly though i hope everyones doing ok write to me would love to chat xxxxx ps i ordered one of those pni bands a few weeks back does anyone know how long they take to arrive? sending love to you all xxxxxxxx

Hi Kelly
I felt the same way about the meds. The relief of getting help made me feel almost instantly better but I then spent months beating myself up about relying on them. I just couldn't understand why I wasn't able to snap put of it myself. At the same time though, the thought of coming off them terrified me.
In the end I think I came off them too soon because of the pressure I put on myself to be without them.
I'm glad yours have kicked in lovely. Try not to think about the meds too much and be as honest as you can when you go back to the GP for the check up's/repeat prescriptions x
