Thing is daisie,I'm not anxious ALL the time or depressed all the time,so not sure if I need ad's,is there not any you can just take when you're just feeling bad?my anxiety & depression is definitely hormone based,it's just all so confusing ☹️

Sounds like something like mindfulness might suit you better.  Take a look and see if there are any classes in your area.  You can do it on your own but a class makes it easier to get into it.

Well I was on day 3 of sertraline & then last night I thought I was dying,nausea kicked in big stylee,when it comes to feeling sick,I'm the biggest wimp in the world,think I'd rather suffer the anxiety,not eaten anything since yesterday t time & definitely not taking another of those tablets.Has anyone else suffered like that?Is there any anxiety medication that doesn't make you sick?
Helllllllllp😔

You have a phobia of vomiting? My sister has that. It's called Emetophobia.
I have a fear of feeling sick..the vomiting part doesn't bother me too much bc that's usually when the nausea goes.
My fear is justified I had salmonella n my 20s after eating fish fingers that had thawed out and refrozen (I didn't know any better) 48 hours of dry heaving every 20 minutes. I was exhausted. I'd get a minutes relief after vomiting then the nausea started all over again... was the worst 48 hours I thought I was dying...
I won't eat any food I suspect is dodgy or even 1 day past the use by date now.

Hi Jaypo, Have you tried HRT? (not sure of your history). It sorted me out for "depression" which was intermittent and hormonal . Despite the Dr saying "HRT is only for hot flushes". As they do. x

[jaypo]

I just can't cope with nausea or being sick,it's the worst feeling in the world 🤢
No not tried hrt down to the breast cancer in family.Dr told me I was probably past introducing it now anyway xx

I have xanax for such a thing...just a one time rescue med, hardly use it but only when I get really bad. I can't bring myself to take anything daily. There are other rescue meds for when anxiety gets bad as well. Maybe ask your GP for something like that instead. I have the smallest dose possible of mine and even with that I half it but know I can take more if I really need it. But I stick with the absolute smallest dose I need for it to work as it can be addictive.

Hi BB is that prescription only?

[BlueButterfly]

Yes it is.

There's natural stuff that is supposed to work the similarly...Kava I believe is what it is. I think it can cause liver damage if used long term. I can't remember exactly. Maybe look into it, see if it worth a try? It's available as a tea or pill.

✋✋ there's 2 from our home
My daughter was saying the same thing this morning. She gets to start puberty while I deal with Peri. She said it's not fair that guys don't have to deal with all this stuff.
