I had this for 8 up years, 8 years of hell. It lead to kidney cancer. I am furious at the doctors, all 30 plus I seen for help, I was wrongly diagnosed of having a brain injury.
7 months into recovering alone. Zero support as all the doctors ducked for cover. I lost my job, my freinds, family and don’t really care to much about life these days.

Oh god I was going through this when I mixed amitriptyline with my sertraline. Soon as I saw this I stopped amitriptyline now I’m fine.
