I'm struggling, in truth i have been struggling for a very long time, I think most of us do. My GP has me on anti depressants and anti anxiety tablets they don't do much for me at all.
Is there anything that does help? I think that my depression is not depression but part of my autistic spectrum thing. Assuming that it is asd not depression is there anything that can make it any better? I am not sure that I can cope for much longer.
Tried 50mg Sertraline for 2 months. No improvement. Just side effects. Now on 15mg Mirtazapine. The sedation fatigue is quite powerful...
Hi @Nada i found with Mirtazapine that if I took them by about 17:00 i could still get up the next day.
I also put on a lot of weight with them
Same here. Continuously stuffing my face - even when I'm not hungry.
Not tried effexor. Abandoned Mirtazapine on day 3. The bad dreams, chronic fatigue and dizziness was like poisonous snake venom.
Have you been on effexor at all? I can't feel any difference but hubby says I am much less flipping from one extreme to the other? I am still suicidal but coherent and less angry.
I really do believe now that the depression i have suffered all of my life is in fact my autism and much as I can take these tablets to try and make it less bad it is just part of me like my lack of understanding of emotion and my proprioceptive dysfunction.
