So my performance has dropped somewhat this week at work. I feel like im being judged and my boss has told me that when i dont seem myself she thinks it might be my motivation but then a few days later i seem good. What she doesnt know is it's actually the change of medication and/or dose that affects me. I dont say anything like that cause i know depression, anxiety and medication is all stigmatised. Right now part of me just wants to jump from the highest building i can find. Im also feeling extremely dizzy, depressed and somewhat disorientated.
The reason is ive switched meds for my anxious depression. I was on 50mg parnate for about 3 months. Last Sunday dropped to 40mg, monday 30mg, tues 20mg, wed 10mg. On wednesday i saw my psychiatrist who started me on 15mg nardil thurs, 15mg today and so on. Come Monday he wants me to increase to 30mg. For last 2 weeks ive also been on 4mg reboxetine and will maintain that same dose.
Will this flat Suicidal, nauseous and dizzy feeling go eventually? People including managers and others say im not my churpy self? What am i supposed to say? I feel i cant tell people due to being judged and stigmatised. No wonder people kill themselves. This is the only place and psychiatrist where i feel i will be understood :(. Sorry to sound so depressive.
