Hi I have been experiencing heavy head & heavy eyelids, extreme fatigue. I have been taking prescribed anti depressants. Could they be causing these symptoms. I have made an appointment with my GP. I have stopped taking my medication for a couple of days now, but am still taking these symptoms. Please help as I am really worried.

It could be, it could be not. It is hard to say without know a lot more information. Nothing we say here will put you at ease. Talk to your doctor. They'll know best.

It's not a good idea to stop taking the meds on your own. Please call your doctor about the symptoms you are having and about possible side effects of the meds (and what to do about the situation). There may be something else going on unrelated to the meds and your depression. Only your doctor will be able to figure this out thanks to your questions and report on how you feel.

Hi thank you for your advice. Been to doctor, took blood tests and will get results on Tuesday. Will let you know my results. It was not my medication. I have not lost any appetite. It all started once every week that I would get these systoms. But it is most days now. Just can't wait to get to the bottom of this. Thanks x
