Hi can anyone help please. I have been with my girlfriend 2 years and we have been amazing and she's been so happy and wanted us to get married and get a house together. She had a bad spell before we got together and was put on fluoxetine and has been on for a year and half and suddenly stopped due to running out.unbeknown to me she got given some citalopram and took them for 3 week and it coincided with her ending our relatjonship out of the blue and even her family said it was out of carachter as she was telling them how happy she was just before. Could this be anything to do with the medication change (sudden stop and start).
She has just started back on the fluoxetine and seems to be admitting her head is all over and needs space to work out what she Wants. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am just stuck and confused. Please help

It is really hard when you change medicines like that, I remember being all over the place emotionally when I first started taking fluoxetine, literally crying on the phone to my ex wanting him back, to the next hour never wanting to see him again, and telling him to jump off a bridge!
You think you have control but you don't for quite a while, looking back on it all now I was an emotional wreck! This will settle down, but it does take time! I realised my ex was really not what I wanted and was actually causing me to cause myself more damage so it was actually for the best for me. And I'm now able to help myself and be me and not have to pretend to be something else for someone else. I guess what I'm saying is it will take time and support for things to become right.
So hang in there!

I think anything can be normal on these tablets! I promise it does get better, promise me you will keep talking to people? You sound like you are doing all the right things, it's just a case of trusting yourself, from your message you sound like you know what's going on and what you need to do for yourself, just trust yourself you do know what you are thinking and talking about you sound like you are very self aware which is a really good place to be. Set yourself little targets, and make sure you reward yourself for doing them! You know who you are and who you should be which is 1/2 the battle!
Every relationship is a two way street, so when it becomes a one way street it's not a relationship anymore, I was hanging on cause that's the only thing I thought I had going for my life, now I just think I've had a luck escape! He's done me a fair few favours if I'm honest, I would of just plodded along and not got myself the help I desperately needed if it wasn't for him pushing me over the edge! Trust yourself you know what's best for you better than anyone else! It may seem like a long painful road but you are already starting to go down it, which is a great and you can now set your own pace that works for you! K xxx
