Is It Really Me Or Is It the Medication
Posted: 06-22-05 06:14am

I seem to feel fine during the day, but when I come home in the evenings I don't know who I am anymore.
I broke down over the phone to my mum tonight, this has been the first time in ages that I have truely cried again.
I'm at the point where I don't know if it's the real me or the medication has only made me worst.
I just hate the feeling of not knowing, it's driving me crazy and I think I may even be driving my boyfriend away as he has been the only one that sees me the way I am and he has been the one that I have been taking alot of my moods on.
Have I become so blind?
I just feel like crawling into a hole and hide, I hate this, I hate everything right now. Hate seems to be the only thing I seem to know these days.
When for a moment there I thought things were going fine. Until it just seems to crash on down!

Hi, what medication are you taking? Are you suffering from depression or anxiety? Both?
From what you have said it seems you are on anti-depressants?

I was taking avanz/miratizapan.

It's been two days now and guess what, I am feeling, well good actually!!
I saw my theropist yesterday, she still said that I should see my doctor.
I have not yet felt any bad "come-down/withdrawals" side effects....Yet....Maybe it just wasn't agreeing with me.

Thanks debberd, will def drop you an email, but at the moment I don't think I need to as i'm feeling oddly fine....

I hope this is not going to one of those where you get to a point where things feel fine and then bang your down the bottom again...
