Finding the most suitable medication/s for my depression/anxiety?

Posted by mickey1971 @mickey1971, Aug 18 10:22pm

Hi… I’m 54 years old and have suffered depression since I was about 15-16 yrs old and used medication to treat the depression from the age of approximately 19 yrs old up until 53 yrs old… a little over 12 mths ago, for a number of reasons I decided to stop taking antidepressants. To cut a long story short I now find myself very depressed again, constantly tired, no motivation, very easily agitated and also quite anxious much of the time. I was taking 200mg Zoloft per day, which in retrospect helped a lot. I also suffer chronic pain which contributes significantly to how I respond to everyday life. I’m hoping to finding the most suitable medication or possibly a combination of medications to treat my symptoms.

I have been suffering from anxiety for 14 years. I currently take Venalafix capsules once a day, which makes me feel more energetic. Please share your experience with me.

I have added CBD oil to my daily medications as has my partner and CBD/CBG oil has most definitely taken the edge off, to the point where we have to push ourselves to get things done. I highly recommend it. We use the drops, but you can get it chews. Just Google it and go for the best deal.

You can also get CBD oil in softgels - which avoids the sugary content in gummies or some other chewables. CBD oil is very effective for me!
