I'm new, please be gentle.

Hello,
I'm new to the forum so thought I would introduce myself. I have had sever depression for three years with a remission of around two months last year. Recently things have become a lot worse reaching a "crisis point" around a month and a half ago. I am currently on my 6th medication trial which is exceptionally frustrating.

 I thought I would try this forum as a means to get advice from people in the same boat as me rather than leaning on my family all the time.

The current medication I'm on , moclobemide, doesn't seem to be doing a great deal for me - in fact it seems to have made things worse. I'm currently have some pretty dark thoughts and struggle to eat, drink and get out of bed. This illness seems to have become all consuming and really quite scary. I think I may be at the end of my tether...

I also go to therapy once a week.

I hope to hear from you all soon,

Fox in the Snow.

Hi. Also new.
It is very difficult to get people to really get you. I have found a friend or family member will be ok for a single conversation but it seems next time you meet they think you will have got over your problems.
Think thats why joining something like this can be so very important.

I have noticed that you are on an MAOI drug....are you aware of the potentially dangerous effects of consuming certain foods with these drugs and also resulting from combination with other medications?

I hope you find this forum useful.

Hi Steve,

I am indeed aware of the potential food and drug interactions - it's a bit of a nightmare!

Thanks,
