glad to hear of your positive experience. how long was it before you started feeling the effects? I am in my third week and still get the jitters but at least my appetite is coming back and I am on diazepam to help the panic attacks.

Great that you have had such a positive result with Cipralex. I too have had a similar experience with this medication. Good luck !

i agree with all that you said bar one thing, my libido is through the roof, have been on cipralex for 8 months now, and it is like i was just born, i'm 32 and feel like i am going through my 20's doing all the stuff i missed out on, thank you cipralex, and good luck to you all x

I suffer with chronic fatigue syndrome and one of the symptoms is anxiety and panic attacks - cipralex has helped with this BUT my libido is non-existent to such an extent my wife thinks I am having an affair (I am not) things can only get better

Glad to see you have the great experiences. The only thing I did see was whether your weight was affected?

I'm so pleased you've had such a positive reaction to cipralex.

May I ask your advice, guys? I've tried these for ages previously, they didn't work, in fact, I've yet to find a benefit from any of the prescribed meds.

I moved home and am with a new(ish) doctor now, have explained that these pills failed previously, along with approx 30 diff others over a period of 15 years, and now that I've read the 'libido' comments... I fully remember the side effects, or lack of, again!

I honestly forgot... instead believing it's just me being me! It's been 6 weeks now, and as others have stated, my partner thinks I'm disinterested in her... untrue.. I'm simply disinterested!

After years of counselling, that failed, the myriad of tablets, and almost total withdrawl from 'outside life'... is it possible that there simply is no cure? I don't know. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact now, though.

Thanks for the reminder that 'a certain part isn't quite down n out' lol.... x

Hello Guest,

Loved your post. I pray and hope I will feel the same way you do. This is the whole reason I decided to take this medication. So far starting week 4 tomorrow and still suffering from negative side affects. No good feelings yet at all. Doc wants me to go up to 20 mg, now I am on 10mg. and I am very hesitant about doing this. But I guess I must follow her advice. What do you think ? I love your post, I read it over and over to keep my hopes up, because I am very close to stopping this medication as I do not see a benefit and losing hope.

Hello! I was so reliwved to read your review.. I ve started 3 weeks on cipralex.. And I have heavy headaches and sleep problems.. I want to be optimostic with this new medicine.. Thanks for your review!

I am experiencing the same thing. This drug has changed my life in so many ways. I didn't want to get out of bed in the mornings to go to work...and many days I didn't. Now I am out out of bed and in the shower without a second thought.
