I am benefitting?! I am desperate for a prescription more like. Doesn't matter, soon it might be over.


Oh, just wanted to add I don't know anything about your healthcare system but in America a family doctor can prescribe antidepressants. In my experience they have no problem giving you a prescription you had before from a psychiatrist. I noticed you said in another post you can't find a psychiatrist. I'd try the family doctor route if you haven't already.


I'm sorry, I misunderstood your post. I hope you do not hurt yourself. I don't know your circumstances but there are hotlines you can call to talk to someone.

In case you have not seen it, Scott Alexander (a psychiatrist) has a resource on antidepressent supplements here:

Wherever you live there are also suicide prevention hotlines you can try calling.
