Last few months I have been feeling depressed before my period and sometimes it now lasts more than few days.
Lately I have had a few life stressors and I feel I am definitely feeling depressed. I am on SSRI for anxiety which obviously does not do anything any more. I am going to speak with my doctor but do you guys experience these symptoms and how do you cope? What has helped? I also started having tachycardia if I have a drink or two at bedtime, especially if it is a mixed drink. I am absolutely healthy and work out HIIT so I know it’s not cardiac.
Any recs? This forum has always helped a lot with real- life advices
Why are you on a ssri if it's not working?
