Trouble Sleeping

Victoria,

That sounds really positive :crossed_fingers:.

Have you taken anti depressants before?

Take care

Never taken them before. Hope they will help. Picking them up from the chemist after work today. Thanks x

They will take a while to kick in, so don’t expect overnight changes.
Ask the pharmacist to go through the possible side effects, so you don’t go worrying about any reaction. Most are very minor and I can promise you the side effects wear off and the anti-depressants can really help.
Sometimes the GP will start you off on a lower dose then review. My suggestion would be when you see your GP in a fortnight’s time ask them if they think a review in a month’s time from that appointment is a good idea and hopefully they will book it in!

The new medication my GP prescribed is helping with my sleep but I’m still feeling a bit sleepy in the morning. I expect this will improve as I get used to it.
