I have been on antidepresants for two years. Trying several kinds and have not been successfuly finding ones without side effects. I am currently on 75 mg Novo-venlafaxine, and 300 mg Wellbutrin. To sleep I take 7.5-15mg Rhovane and or 1mg Apo-Lorazepam. I am anxious to stop taking this medications as I am fearful they are addictive and possibly causing perminant side effects.
I am still sad, angry, worried, paranoyed, shaking, headaches, live in a hazz or fog, and can't sleep through the night. Low concentration, poor memory,(realy poor), no motivation, don't talk to anyone anymore and seldom leave the house.
I am 48 almost 49 years old and I think I may be experiencing menopause symptoms. I recently have had not been able to control my body temperature. I am always cold, and at night I sweet between my thighs at night and them get the chills. (new in the last 3 months)
I asked my doctor for a hormone test see above question. Is it possible that all my symptoms including the depression symptoms could be caused my the change in life.
