Suffered From Depression For Years, Trying To Come Off Serequel. Have Severe Anxiety But Debilitated With Extreme Weakness
I have suffered with depression for 30 years, 4 year ago after coming off high dosage of meds withdrawals caused severe Gad, no meds are now working and I am trying to come off Serequel which was only administered whilst I was on an AD to assist with it. However was taken off AD & as no other AD was working find pointless to stay on 50 mg serequel.
My problem is anxiety is severe but I am totally debilitated with extreme weakness. Accomplish nothing, go nowhere and too weak to walk about. My question? Can anxiety be so debilitating, I also have a lot of abdominal pain and my nights are just full of dreams constantly?

It looks that Antidepresent are not working because eithe dosages are not right or you may havec other health issues Antidepresent will not work if you have hypothyroidism so go for thyroid testing Antidepresent will not work if you have diabetes severe anaemia or more prominent anxiety than depression .Discuss with your psychiatrist for drug adjustmen issue and physical investigation for diseases as above as the information about thede are not avilabe in your record
You can get back to me with details of age investigation report result and details of othet existing diseases
Take care
