"Bedankt Tufnut. Ik ga af en toe door periodes zoals nu dat ik slecht kan slapen. heb kleine kinderen en ze slapen nu allemaal heel goed maar ik niet, waarschijnlijkj door maanden lang iedere nacht te moeten staan, minstens 5/6 keer per nacht. Nu slapen zij goed, maar ik moet weer in een ritme komen. Ik ga het gewoon proberen. Vannacht weer onwijs slecht geslapen, helemaal kapot vandaag."

"I have a history of using anti depressants and have just come off effexor, which was HORRIBLE. I'm still going through the motions, and finding it really tough, as also have 3 young children to look after.... The last time I tried to get something from my doc (last time I came off effexor) he told me I'm fixated on the pills, that I should just move on. But now I feel I really need something to get me through the bad days. Can anyone help, does anyone have experience with this, or know of any other way I could get them? My friend is a nurse but she refuses to help"

"Thanks kaasbaas. I have been living in NL for a long, long time. One of the reasons I take anti depressants is so that I can be a better mom to my kids. I have tried to stop taking them numerous times but usually I will fall back into a depression. So, actually, I AM thinking of my kids. I want to not snap at them when they "misbehave" and not beat myself up constantly when I do snap at them. I have been in therapy for a long time also, so I have done a lot of work on myself. I find coming off anti depressants particularly hard, especially effexor. I came off them under supervision from my psychiatrist. But it's now, a few months down the line, that I am finding it really hard again. I am battling myself every day. Trying to chase away my demons. Outwardly I come across as a normal well adjusted individual (with a successful career, marriage and a large circle of friends) but inside I am unhappy. My husband is one of the only people who knows the ins and outs. THanks for reading anyway."

"Hi, thanks for the replies. I understand NLs perfectly and am also fluent but am not great in writing it.... so you can reply in nederlands if you want. I quit anti depressants (effexor) as teh side effects this time were not good. I became completely insonmiac and also my sex drive went out the window completely. I have now started a new course of anti d's called valdoxan, but the discontinuation symptoms from effexor are still raging. Not sure whatt he comments are about drugsforum.com - do you mean the english version of this website? Ja hallo Winehouse, ik dacht dat ik hier ook welcom zou zijn"
