I am really struggling this week. I started on fluoxetine 40mgs (now up to 60mgs) and Aplenzin 174mgs-now up to 348mgs) a couple of months ago. Two weeks ago I went up on the Apenzin to the higher dose because I only started a couple of weeks before on the lower dose and I definitely felt better.
But since the higher dose I feel like I have been rapid cycling. I got quite up and have been down really down for the last week.
The thing I am worried about is how much of my behaviour is because of my relationship with my wife. She said one thing and i got upset, and I have ran with that for the whole week. I am unemloyed broke financially devastated etc. etc.
My doctor knows all this (obviously) and He said the Aplenzin would help me focus better, but I have no enthusiasm to get doing things that will be positive for me.
I feel like I can focus better but only on the negative(does that make sense)
Anyway the last day or two has been pretty dark and my thoughts are going that way too.
I have shut myself off completely, I have free time when I drop my son to school to do anything I want to help myself and i can't/won't and this is really upsetting to me. I can come on here and read and read and sometimes post but even this took almighty effort.
I even thought how does this forum continue because if everyone was like meit would go fine for a few days/weeks etc. and then it wouldn't be touched as I watched it fall apart. Pretty much like my life right now.
So anyone with any ideas on the meds I am taking. I am seeing my PSY on Tuesday at 11am.
