    For the past 2 months Ive been really out of sorts. I was previously on anti depressant medication and came off it slowly but after a while got really really depressed. Ive been back on it over 5 weeks now. I never have trouble with my sleep but last night I didnt sleep a wink and same thing happened one night 2 weeks ago. If I have something important the next day this seems to be happening now. It leaves me dazed and in a nightmare world.
    Im doing psychotherapy and exercise every day and hoping the medication will make a difference soon. Im also seeing a psychiatrist but he didnt recommend a change in medication as of 2 weeks ago.
    Hope my life can get back on track. Anyone any advice?

    Hi,

    The antidepressant is just a small 'helper' for you - They're not magic in any shape or form and you should simply get into the habit of taking it each day without even considering how well (or not) it's affecting you. At the moment, I think that getting some consistency into your life would be a good idea. I mean, getting into a 'routine'. At least when you know what's ahead of you, then your levels of anxiety should decrease.
