Been in and out of this thread the last few weeks but never posted. Have to say the support you guys give each other is amazing. I know there is some stick thrown around between us all in the other threads but its so nice to see the support between members in here.

I have just found out that I can't have grapefruit with my meds, I've heard of stuff clashing before but grapefruit products, what on earth. Grapefruits are my favourite fruit too, typical.
I'm back on the sick, feel like I have come full circle over the last 6months. Doesn't seem to be an easy fix for my condition. Having been on different types of depressant meds since 2004 maybe like I said earlier, tablets aren't the answer but I wouldn't know where else to turn.

Been thinking about this, unfortunately I don't have the confidence at the moment to kick up a fuss, which is so far out of character it's scary, I'm the type who always speak their mind and question things but not at the moment, I'm about as timid as a churchmouse.

Hope you dont mind me jumping in here on the conversation and excuse me if already been mentioned further back in the thread.
I know when I stopped using the tablets for my own depression I went onto St Johns Wort. Not for everyone but was recommended to me as an alternative. Was skeptical but gave it a go and was a success for me. Not sure what the thoughts are or if anyone has tried this before?
Exercise for me was a huge part of getting back on track but I know its not possible for some people. Even starting small whether if be walking or swimming.

Oh that's such a shame. So sorry that you feel like that. But if you can it is even more important to take somebody with you to your occ health. Somebody you can trust who will help you to say how you feel. Hope it goes well. Happy to help via pm if you want.
Yeah I have just started the gym so hopefully that helps, I go running normally but can't this time of the year.

alcohol and SSRI's tend to give me shocking memory loss. If i have more than 3 pints i can barely remember anything the day after
Depends on the person mate.
Some people no side effects at all, other than the alcohol stops it working, so the following day you have a hangover and pronunced feelings of depression.
Other people can almost knock them out.
What worked for me in these situations, was giving the impression that I was drinking - keep your glass three quarters full all the time, that way people think you're drinking. Once they're drunk they don't notice anyway. Smoke and mirrors
I just don't feel fully happy at the moment even though I have a lot of things going for me.
The job is still going well, I've pretty much mastered it now and was yesterday told that I was going to be offered a full-time contract which is great.
My social life though has gone rubbish the past year or so admittedly, I haven't gotten out anywhere near as much as I'd like. Drifted apart from previous mates who I used to go out to town with and my other close mate doesn't go out much at all, we have a bevvy in a pub every few weeks but that's it. There was a works' night out the other week that I looked forward too but when I went it was very anti-climatic, it started off okay but before midnight one group left the bar to go off on their own into town without telling anyone else. Bit rude that IMO. Then another group went off as well saying they were going home but I know they never, they stayed out and probably just didn't want me with them. I was left on my own pretty much with just the older guys so I ended up just going home on the train, wasted night. I won't lie I still feel miffed by that, for me it feels like I was clearly snubbed and I don't know why because as far as I know everyone in the place gets along with me.
I don't have a girlfriend either and haven't had a serious one for a while because I don't get the chance to really meet anyone, it's crap because I finally feel a lot better about myself compared to a year ago but don't get the chance to put my new confidence into action. All I do really nowadays if I'm not working is stay at home, go the gym (by myself) or occasionally the pub with my mate but it's not enough. It's all very disheartening to tell the truth, yes I'm not having severe anxiety attacks every day anymore but my personal life has gone absolutely crap now even if my professional life is looking very good.
I don't feel depressed anymore, just very bored and restless. I definitely feel like my youth is just passing me and it's starting to really get me down, I don't want to things to be like this forever. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for jumping in granter, and welcome. It's great to hear of alternatives that have been successful for others. It could give someone hope for a better option.
It's always a good reminder though, to seek professional advice if you want to try alternatives. As granter said, it's not for everyone but do check with a professional if you can.
