Hi,
I've not been on here for quite a while now, but felt the need to return. Saw a new psychiatrist last month, have been re-diagnosed & also had my meds altered. New psychiatrist thinks rather than having depression with anxiety I have G.A.D with depression, he also thinks the sertraline is no longer working as well as it used to, so am off that & on venlafaxine. I was surprised at the generalised anxiety element, as I've previously been told (and it is startlingly obvious imho) that I have social anxiety & agoraphobia.
During my time away from the forums I managed to study part-time at university (philosophy) but due to getting worse again it looks like I'll have to give that up
Anyway, am struggling to think straight atm due to either sertraline withdrawal or adjusting to doubling my venlafaxine dosage just yesterday (as posted here), so hello & sorry I'm kind of lacking on the whole info/conversational front.
