Citalopram 10mg 9 weeks

The best part brother is you will feel even better in time

You can stay in Citalopram for life if needed.  I've taken this med for over 15 years with one break, and now maintain my wellness on only 5mg.

Wow thats good to hear, is it good all the time (15 yrs)? How many mg ?

thank you so much for your reply

Yes I've been well all that time - on top of the world :-)  I started on 20mg and stayed on that for many years, then reduced it to 10mg and stayed on that for years too.  Am now on 5mg and still feeling good.

Perfectly i mean

I also posted on another of your posts re taking 5-HTP if you ever decide to come off meds again.  Like you, I need something as I just get this dull, long, flat continuous feeling.  

My GP told me once that some people need meds for epilepsy, heart problems, blood pressure, diabetes ..... and depression etc is no different.  It's an illness like any other, and some people need our type of meds too, just as other people need to take lifelong meds.

I was told John by my GP the longer the dosage the less chnace of remission so if that gives you even more comfort go for it! there is no shame being medicated forget the unqualifried critics out there!

I'm only on day 16 but if it works and I'm still on it in a few years then that's fine, anything is better than how I've been feeling these past 6 months or so.

To be 47 and not on regular medication for any illnesses then I think I'm doing ok lol

Just been docs and been bumped up too 20mg was told 10mg was baby dose just too see if body coped with the side effects so here's hoping that it works x

Hi john that's good news.......my dr told me to go up to 20mil 2 weeks ago and feel a lot better but also have mild anxiety of mornings

It may increase a little when first going up

Or it may not (but it did for me) I just told my self it's the tablets and it will go so if that happens (just ride with it)

I've been on cipramil for 10 weeks now

Hi kathy, good to hear your doing fine, i only have mild anxiety in the morning unlike 5 days ago,,,,and im still on 10mg , i will just stick with this dose for the meantime... I can sleep better now, before i will wake up at 2am and cant go back to sleep now i can sleep 6-8hrs or more , one more thing ive been drinking a lot of turmeric (yellow ginger) i dont know if its helping but i has a lot of benefits ....

Thank you so much for all the support, keep you updated,,,,,

Oh that's good

Just stick with what you feel is best for you're self

I've never heard of yellow ginger before

What is it ?

You can search turmeric in google, there are a lot ot studies about that powerful herb.... How are you today kathy.... Feeling better everyday...im looking forward for few more weeks for the meds to fully kick in....

How are you doing right now? Hope your fine

Hey john

Hi Kathy

Yeh woke up this morning with a bit more apprehension but guess it's just down too knowing iv upped my meds and anticipating more side effects he's hoping for a good day x

Thats good to hear, me too, morning anxiety is lesser everyday and so productive each day....

Your going to be ok John, hope the side effect is milder or lessen , im xcted for you to be ok soon keep us updated

I hated them mornings when I had to get up but I pushed through and was fine also once I was up

Hey John, I'm alright man, definately better everyday I'm on 20 mg have been taking since May this year. How are you doin all ok I hope

Hi stevo, good to hear that your doing ok.... Me too , seeing little progress dat by day.... Xcted to see my self very normal (very) lol,,,,, morning anixety is very minimal....can sleep 6 to 8 hours....

Im always thinking if i will be on cit forever , it makes me sad to think that but happy at the same time cause if one pill can make you normal so whats the problem,,,,,
