[QUOTE="EveryCloud, post: 912990, member: 133463"] I have been on and off antidepressants for years. Many of the SSRIs didn't agree with me and I was put on 150ml Venlafaxine, an SNRI, and that was terrific. I used that for years, then I had a major side effect with them and tapered off, I was fine for many years and then the suicidal thoughts and self hate came back. I turned to drinking very heavily and lost a lot of friends because of it, that and because at the time I was undiagnosed and my diabetes was causing major mood swings - according to my doctor. I pretty much soldiered on until a couple of months ago when I finally explained everything that was going on in my head to my doctor, I explained the feelings and the bad thoughts and the extreme anxiety. Reading about my past history with SSRIs and Velafaxine he gave me Trazodone 150ml for my sleep and anxiety which I have been taking for the past 2 months, they are helping me sleep and through the day the do help, I know they help, but I still end up with a spiral of thoughts.
