Thanks for answering. You're right, I don't give meds the time to work. I'm scared of them and this is weird since I have been able to take Anafranil for years. I'm changing meds every week. My mental abilities have deteriorated, I'm abusing alcohol and I have devoloped severe anhedonia. Moreover I have a prostatis that is driving me crazy and I fear that meds can worsen it. I just don't know what to do, I don't know if I have to quit meds or taking them ... I think I have made a mess with my brain and I don't know know who to trust to recover ... I started st. john's wort but it's making me nauseous. I hope to discover that I have some kind of physical illness that will explain my over-reactions to meds. Sorry for this lonely post, I feel hopeless and I'm scared. There was a time when I thought to know a lot of things ... now I don't know anything.
