My depression was caused by a hormonal imbalance and once I recovered I was ok without the need for medication, family couldn't believe the difference in my behaviour from one day to the next, a total personality change.
This depression lasted over two weeks but it gave me an insight into what happens to the body when in a very low state of mind and I can certainly empathise with others who have to endure it long term where medication would definitely be needed.

But, sounds like you are on the mend

Tnx.  It's not simply my head that becomes affected, my whole body becomes depressed to the point that I am unable to get out of bed, eat, stay in the bath and U all know how much I love a long soak with bubble bath, good book and a cuppa.

The extra 5mg of escitalopram eased the sudden onset of depression - so now on 10mg x 10mg morning and night until October.

However, anxiety hit badly  , due to a pre-booked 5 days away next month. I knew the risks when I made the booking and although DH said that we could cancel, my GP has been good and prescribed today Propranolol. 8a.m., 2.p.m. and 10p.m. - it will be 9, 3 and 11 though because we don't wake that early  this morning it was 10 B4 we opened our eyes.

Anticipatory anxiety is the worst for me  hopefully the new regime will C me though!
