Hi everyone,

I was taking citalaphram for over five years and in oct last year i started getting slowly depressed, doc increased my dose to 40mg but it just seemed to stop working. Switched to sertraline 5 weeks ago 50mg for a week then 100mg for the past four weeks. Im at breaking point, tearful, really shaky, nervous and so low. Do i stop taking it?

      Keep with it going from one medication to another does take time when I have done it myself you wonder if it's ever going to work but gradually you should start to feel better sending big hugs 🌼 x

    Whatever you do don't stop taking your medication suddenly as this can cause ill effects. Talk to your doctor first before doing anything. Listen to the advice from Louise and hang on on there. It will get better.
