Orangeblossom77 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Have swapped to a different German type of SJW and seems to be working better. Feeling quite a difference last couple of days Still getting annoying prickling parasthesia if I don't exercise daily though but in general anger a bit better and thoughts more manageable, don't get as stressed. Fingers crossed this continues. Fluoxetine 20mg a day, (mornings) Amitryptilline 10-50mg (evenings) for last two years (usually lowest dose of the latter) Previously on and off Fluoxetine since 1999.
