Having come of meds a couple of days ago to start a new one tomorrow I have crashed really badly today and yesterday. Dark thoughts and have been more than tempted to act on them which is why I have come on here now. I desperately need to distract myself. I have never felt so hopeless, scared and alone and I feel so dizzy I can barely stand up. shaking uncontrollably, crying and my heAd is pounding.

Please stay strong.  *() Phoning the helpline was a good move. It's tomorrow that you start the new meds, isn't it? Have you got anything else planned? %^%

 *() Well, it's very late to suggest a coffee, and that always puts me on edge anyway, but maybe making yourself a cup of tea might help. I sometimes find that just the gentle stirring can have a bit of soporiphic effect. Hmm is that the right word? Take it easy. Michael

I hope that you're ok this morning Willows. I hope the new meds start to relieve your suffering soon. I have had a similar experience with having to come off meds quickly and know how hard this is for you.

Feel so dizzy and shaky still this morning. Dark thoughts still with me this morning. I feel so awful I am too scared to swallow the first venlafaxine for fear that being the first time I have taken it it will make me feel worse.
I need to be at work for 10am but don't feel able to drive at the moment but if I don't go I will have given up my fight to keep going.
