I was on Prozac for many years after a nervous breakdown. I was then put on Citalopram for anxiety when driving after my mother's death. Last year I stupidly took myself off it as felt fine for months. In October I suddenly felt very depressed and anxious about everything. I was put back on Citalopram but it did not help this time. My doctor swapped me to Prozac three weeks ago with Lorazepam for the anxiety. I have tried keeping busy but the negative thoughts keep creeping in and I can't stop crying. I was taking the contraceptive pill Cerelle to stop my periods. I came off it to have blood tests to see how much of this could be hormonal. I am in my menopause which I think would account for night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, fog brain, depersonalisation and lots if other horrid stuff. My doctor says she can't sort out the hormones until the Prozac has kicked in which will be another three weeks of this living hell. I dread waking up each morning. I try to get through work without crying. I try to function normally for my daughter. She had a year out of uni due to ME but is going back in January. It has been extremely stressful trying to find her accommodation etc. Now I am dreading her going back and wonder if I will ever feel normal again. I live alone and used to live it but now just cry and shake all the time. I am really hoping this is hormonal and can be sorted soon. Please can anyone give me any hope?
