Feeling wired

[RD66]

Hi everyone.

I'm feeling constantly wired from my SSRI medication. I have been on it for over 15 years and have never felt like this before. 

Has this happened to anyone else? the feeling is very unsettling.

Thaksin in advance

@RD66 when I first went on SSRI i did well but a few months later it made me feel worse, it became clear that I did not have unipolar depression. While, I’m not saying you have bipolar disorder, but it’s worth talking to your doctor about the side effects. The dosage may not be right or it might not even be the right medication

Hi @RD66 and welcome to the forums

I completely understand wanting to reach out and connect with others about these disconcerting medication side effects. It sounds like it's been really affecting you lately, and I'm glad that you've been able to share here. 

I'd like to second @creative_writer's suggestion that you speak to your doctor about this so that they can take a look into what's going on.

The first anti depressants I was put on

where SSRI's by my GP a few years ago.

Felt like he went "Eenie Meenie miney mo" that'll do. Eight weeks later same class but different medication.

I got jack of no sleep after a few weeks...

I was like bug eyed squirell on Red bull on that stuff😂🫣. It definitely wasn't for me lol

Then I had a Psychiatrist appointment and was put on a SNRI. Have been on it ever since. Worked a charm!

Nothing could be interfering with the medication such as caffeinated drinks etc

Or missed doses?

Really hope whatever it is, that you get the bottom of it and feel right as rain in no time😊
