Medication

Glen1981

I feel like I’m having a stroke again today, pins and needles down my left arm, trouble breathing and feel sick and like death.

I am seriously thinking about asking the GP for medication even though it hasn’t helped in the past. 

What are other peoples views on anti depressants, do they work for you, or make your mood even less stable. 

At my wits end today but will take it slow and see how I am tomorrow.

If you're feeling this way you should be ringing 999 rather than post here. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stroke/

Anti-depressants do work for some people but it's not a magic wand and yes it will take time. Both my daughters take them and they do help but it took a few months for my one daughter to start feeling a little better.

I’m ok, I keep getting Irvine have told the doctor before, they said it is anxiety, I just don’t want to keep loosing a day because of it, not to mention the discomfort and pain. I will see what the doctors say and if I get any other symptoms, if it gets worse, or if it is still there at 6 o’clock I will ask someone to take me to A+E

thanks all

Hi @Glen1981

Have you been in contact with your GP? If your symptoms persist and you feel as though it may be an emergency please call 999. If you perhaps don't think it is an emergency you can call the 111 number to get some medical advice. 

I'm sorry to hear of how your anxiety and medication impact you, I would suggest speaking with your doctor if you feel as though you need more or different support.
