Antidepressant withdrawal while taking them?

I’m taking Amitriptyline 20 mg. daily, it’s an older antidepressant, it helps a little but if I increase my dose I get symptoms. It’s really frustrating to have this problem because I need something to help me with anxiety and depression, I also take Ativan to help with anxiety.

It’s all so scary - i used Lexapro twice 10 years ago, and then again 5 years ago, and it worked perfectly. I needed it again, even doubled the dose, but barely working now. I tried Zoloft and it drove me crazy , my body was shaking constantly. I also take Ativan, .5 mg. But not working as well as it used to either. I’m afraid to keep trying new meds.

I wanted to add that your problem with antidepressants is more common than than most people realize, I did some research a while back and read that they are working with LSD for help, of course it’s been changed from the stuff people used to get high, another thing was certain mushrooms were also in use now for people who can’t get help from the medications currently available. My oldest son who has suffered from anxiety for years but he never used medication for it started taking mushrooms in prescribed doses and he is very happy with the results, I’m not sure if I have the nerve to try it but if I did, it would have to be done with the help from a homeopath or a doctor who is experienced with this medicine.
