  • Hi i have read that it can interact with tamoxifen and stop it working properly. I desperately need to take something as I have put it off because of the weight I have already gained but unfortunately I need something and then googled and read that . X

    RoflRoflObviously we’re very tech savvy Rofl I’ve not heard that , I assume that if the docs give you meds they know what they’re doing Thinking anxiety is just horrid , have you spoke to a head doctor? If it helps you out just go for it , it’s not forever , but whatever gets you through Heart️....see how many time’s I post this GrinGrinx

  • I have just done a self referral to health in mind and I might enquire at the Sarah lee trust. I need CBT therapy really ,not just normal counselling .  Feel like I’m crazy sometimes Cry and can’t control it. 

    I know we should trust the docs but  I always google .  It said there was moderate interaction and that you had to weigh up if your mental health really pushed you to have to take them.  There was one other that was low risk . I’m talking to doc in two weeks so I will flag it up then. I will let you know. 

    Have you had any side effects on them or have they just done their job x thank you x

    Oh it’s just shite Frowning2️ I’m a non google non reader of notes kind of person at this time , don’t want to know , but I’m gonna say let’s sort your mental health out, no good struggling when you don’t need too ... I would say they’ve done as they should...not been on a deserted beach for a while in my head...it’s temporary x
