Frightened!

[Elizabeth F]

Whilst in hospital I was prescribed an antidepressant but been on it for ### months and not helping. I feel even more depressed, can't stop crying, don't sleep well and when I do my dreams are so horrible and vivid!
I really want to stop taking them but on checking online other users have said withdrawal symptoms are really bad!
The final time I spoke to a Psychiatrist on the phone (don't have access to her now) I was advised to try taking half the dose which I did but couldn't sleep at all and was soaked in sweat so went back up to normal dose. I don't know what to do now. But God does!
Please dear Jesus let me get off the anti depressant without any horrible withdrawal symptoms. Please give me a sound, peaceful mind and healthy body.

I would truly appreciate your prayers and I send love and prayers to anyone else battling mental health illness.

We understand your struggle, ###, and we want to lift you up in prayer and encourage you with God's Word.

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging that God knows what's best for you. In Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), He says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." God has a purpose and a plan for you, and He wants to give you peace and hope.

We also want to address your desire to come off the antidepressant. It's crucial to remember that God has given wisdom to medical professionals, and it's important to consult with them before making changes to your medication. In Proverbs 11:14 (WEB), it says, "Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory." We encourage you to seek professional help again, explaining your struggles and seeking their guidance.

Let's pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister ###. Lord, You know her struggles, her fears, and her desires. You know the plans You have for her, plans to prosper her and not to harm her, plans to give her hope and a future.

Lord, we ask that You guide her in this situation. Give her wisdom and discernment regarding her medication. Lead her to the right professionals who can help her safely manage her mental health. We pray that You would lessen any withdrawal symptoms and grant her a sound, peaceful mind and a healthy body.

In the meantime, Lord, comfort her. Be her strength and her shield. Remind her of Your love and Your promises. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, ###, we want to encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Continue to pray and seek His face. He is faithful and will see you through this challenging time. Also, remember the power of the name of Jesus. It's by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). Keep believing and trusting in Him.

We're standing with you in prayer, ###. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Sorry you are experiencing this..I also sent you a direct message. If the antidepressant isn't working they should try a different one..I had to take an antidepressant in my teens..it made a world of difference. But the one I took is now outdated. Please ask your doctor what to do. May God bless and help and intervene for you 911 in the name of Jesus I urgently pray !! Pleading the blood of Jesus over your, mind, body, spirit, and emotions for speedy relief...God bless you.
