Hows this combination of medication? Or do i stop altogether

Postby ForcedIsolation » Tue Mar 11, 2014 7:32 pm

Today, like the previous 7 years of my life i am extremely depressed, anxious, socially anxious, obsessive and suicidal.

Where i am there is ABSOLUTELY NO support from doctors whatsoever. < I really can't stress this enough, if your going to say 'talk to your doctor or gp about it' then please don't post, thanks :)

I have decided to take:

100mg Sertraline (Prescribed by a doctor, been on for about 4 years and does nothing but the doctor and other doctors don't care.)
So i added in the following:

150/300mg of Bupropion (300mg initially but as i'm running low and i have to import them from Canada i am currently taking 150mg).
and today started for the first time;
Venflaxine (Effexor) XR - 37.5mg

Quite frankly couldn't give a $#%^ about Serotonin Syndrome etc. since i'm suicidal anyway.

1. Just want to know if anyone else has tried this combination together, does it work and how long does it take?
2. Or should i stop antidepressants altogether, and i could 'naturally' get better? (But then end up even more suicidal lol)

Thanks for your time :)

This website is great for checking combinations of drugs, as you have difficulty with getting help from gp this might help you! http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html

It is against forum rules for the members to give medical advice. There is nothing wrong with sharing personal experiences though. Just my moddish .02$

*Trigger warning*

Here comes my personal experience: I caused serotonin syndrome in myself twice, because I was suicidal and dumb at the same time. It didn't kill me. I broke a heavy glass bowl with my face, though, because I lost control over my muscles, got heavy full-body shakes and just fell face-down. A glass shard was stuck in my face the morning after; if it was three millimetres higher, I'd lose an eye. The second time I took the same combo of pills I started to feel horrible and decided to go lie in bed, and then I felt I was dying. It was the worst feeling I have ever had. I felt that I was falling asleep but somehow also that if I do fall asleep, I will not wake up. I left my mobile in another room, but, again, no control over my muscles. I spent two hours feeling like this and praying, hoping and wishing not to die although I'd swear five minutes before taking the pills that this was what I wanted.

*end trigger*

Since then I've been using the drugs.com link previous poster posted here obsessively every time I get a prescription to ensure I never, ever feel like this again.

May I ask how come there is "NO support from doctors whatsoever"? Where do you live?
