i managed my depression for 6 years without any medication until june 03 when i finally went to my gp who put me on soroxat which i tried for 3 months, all that it did for me was give me a dry mouth and made me very sleepy all the time so i stopped taking it.
i went back to my gp in october 03 in qutie a bad way who then put me on fluxotine signed me off work telling me to perceiver, so i did for 6 months, to be quiet honest fluxotine never touched my depression(i'd ban the stuff) but it did render me impotent,nauseous,gave me severe mood swings ranging from suicidal to a moood i would call unhappy so i stopped taking it went back to work vowing i'd sort myslef out without any medication(i'd told my gp i was well on the road to recovery and still took a prescription off him although i never went to the pharmacy)
3 weeks ago i went to see another gp who suggested sjw she said there would be no side effects and i would start to feel better in as little as 2 weeks, so very sceptical i tried a 300mg daily tablet.
i wish i'd tried sjw years ago because in 3 weeks the difference i feel in myself is quite astonishing (believe me its no coincidence) i would say that i spend 70% of the time dare i say happy or normal compared to 85% shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
i finally feel as if i'm getting somewhere with my depression at last an in no small part its down to sjw, i'm also starting cognitive behavioral therapy to help me along the road to a better life.
here's hoping,
st john
