So, today is the day I start taking my tablets, but I haven’t taken any yet because they make you super drowsy so it is advised to take them in the evening before you go to bed. I have decided to keep a paper record of everything as well, because then I have something to…… Continue reading Getting ready!

It’s been a while since I came off my anti-depressants so I thought I’d write an update on how I feel now they are out of my system and I’m going it alone.

After stabilising nicely onto the half dose tablets, I hoped that the transition downward would be…… Continue reading Eyes Open

Two weeks into my six week plan to get off my medication – how’s it going? Good. I think. This fortnight has seen me alternating between taking my full dosage and just half dosage each night, slowly trying to get my body to adjust to having less and less Duloxetine in my system. Overall it…… Continue reading Going Down

The Beginning Of The End

26/01/201723/01/2018 CaroleHeidi2 Comments

Today I went to see my doctor and we set up a six week plan to wean me off my anti-depressants. The Duloxetine has been a game-changer for me. After the disaster that was my last round of Citalopram, I was resigned to the feeling that I’d have to be medicated forever. Then I started…… Continue reading The Beginning Of The End

The climate crisis is a massive topic to explain to children, but if anyone needs to understand it, it is them. They are the generation who are going to have to change how we live in order to try and save the actual world from ourselves. We grown ups can start it, but they are the ones that have to develop and carry it on.
