This page is not a prescription
It does not tell you what to take or how much. Only a clinician who has assessed you can do that. Call 112 if you feel severely unwell.
What a clinician considers
Severity, risk, what support you already have, and that medicine is one option rather than the only one.
Common examples
- Antidepressant medicines
