After a breakup with the love of my life (she left me several months ago), I have no been able to cope at all. It has destroyed my life. Have trouble getting out of bed, am ridden with anxiety and panic (mornings are the worst), and so deeply depressed because I can't handle that she's gone, and even running errands in life like going grocery shopping or to the pharmacy has become overwhelming experiences where I feel too down/anxious and panicked.
I have tried all the natural stuff but without much improvement. I have already been on low dose trazodone which helps with sleep but is also an anti-depressant. I only take a half pill at present. It didnt do much for the anxiety/depression/panic but it does help me get some sleep. Prior to that I would get 1 or 2 hours a night tops. Now I get more but still wake up a couple times in the night. Also I've been doing therapy.
At this point I have no where else to turn but try pharm antidepressants and anti anxiety pills. But I am worried about side effects.. especially fibrosis which I hear SSRI's can cause. My hairloss is another significant player in my mental health and currently, I have decent hair, so I don't wanna risk making that worse with anti-depressants if it can cause fibrosis. So what can I try that won't raise serotonin or cause fibrosis and would be the safest? This I all assuming my GP is willing to prescribe it.
