I’ve been diagnosed with Depression and Panic Disorder due to Complex Trauma, with history of OCD and ED. I’ve been on treatment for more than a year now and have yet to find the right medication.
I’m currently cutting down on Venlafaxine, to prepare for a switch to Amitripyline. I used to be on 3 capsules now I’m down to 1. This was according to my treatment plan and with my doctor’s consent. But due to more complex family issues surfacing, I’ve been having active suicidal thoughts as of late and they’re getting more intense. I’ve texted to my case manager to speak to my doctor about this, but I’m gonna have to wait for a reply because it’s the weekends now.
I promise I’ll stay here. I’m doing everything I can to stay alive. I just want to know if anyone has any experience with stopping a medication change while it’s ongoing and what’s going to happen next? Please share with me and I’m open to anything that you’ve experienced. I understand that it works differently for everyone but I just want to know how to approach this. Thank you so much.
