Hi guys, just when you thought you 'd heard the last of me I came back.
Have been doing great for a whole week - (week 3-4) no panicky feelings/anxiousness etc. Felt like I used to! Then the last couple of days I have had twinges of my tummy going and like I am going to have another wobbly. I know David said you can get this type of thing as a side effect, and also I am really tired. I know you will all say "chill out" and its normal etc. I am not up to full strength yet either I suppose but its like cruelty in a way isnt it? You feel normal and start to get back on track then someone pulls out the rug from under you... like a little demon chappie is saying remember how you used to feel... dont get carried away with this good feeling. Argghhh!!! someone just humour me please!! I want to be normal for good, not just a few good days then some bad. Im really fed up of not knowing whether today will be good or not, i want to get up in a morning like a normal person and not worry how things will be... just get up and be me and not have a bad thought cross my mind. I want it to be better.
cheers
a very very feeling sorry for herself

Damn! > Just when things were going so well, this happens....it's happened to me too - I stsrted taking SJW for the second time in early Jan. this year and it took what seemed like an eternity to start working again. It's been about 6 weeks now and it's really starting to go well, I'm basically back to my old self except when I'm realllllly tired....Then the 'demon chappie' (PERFECT description by the way) strikes. When this happens I try to either go to sleep or go for a run (gets blood pumping round the brain ans endorphins round the body) also I strive not to focus on things (not easy at the best of times). This normally does the trick and I feel much better in the morning.
I can't really tell you anything you don't already know Jexy, but try to relax a bit each day and take sometime for yourself, also try and set yourself some kind of goal each day (and feel good when you achieve it, even if it's a tiny one). Also something to remember (and I have real trouble with this one sometimes) is that everyone, including people who don't suffer from depression have good days and bad days - it's normal to feel down sometimes even when on SJW - unfortunately it's not a miracle thing that induces a permanent happy state (I wish it was though!!).
Give it a couple more weeks and I think (and sincerely hope!) that you will start to feel a bit more home and dry, and slightly more back to your old self.

PS. If you reckon that the panicky feelings and twinges are still side-effects, you might want to try changing brands, because normally after 4 weeks these should have definately settled down.
PPS. Don't disappear from the forum - your experiences and knowledge can help someone new to all this who needs some advice....I actually find that it makes me feel quite happy to think that maybe someone is being helped by my rambling posts!!
