Citalopram - 3 weeks in

That is totally normal ive been on 10mg for 5 weeks and still get momwnts like that but every day is better in general than before the tablets good luck xx

Thank you Natasha, do you find you have a run of 'good' days now? I'm looking forward to not constantly thinking about and assessing how I'm feeling 24/7! I just want to get up and get on with my day like I used to.

I had PND 3 years ago, but that was the only time in my life I've had depression until now - and it came out of the blue - so I'm desperate to get my old life back xx

Hi to you

Thats absolutely normal!!

Im having a down day today! And I know thats the weather and other things

But the weekends coming!!!!!!!!

Yes I do have a run of good days and then I will have a short run of not so good days like today but thats due to the weather and I think im getting a cold I just dont feel right but im sure I will be feeling better by the weekend

hang on in there it will be worth it xx

Thank you both, I've been trying my best to be positive, and I'm really enjoying the good times, but today I'm just a bit fed of of feeling like this, and having no idea how I'll feel day to day.

My doctor said I should stay on 15mg for the time being, but I guess I can talk to her about 20mg if I don't feel any improvement in a few weeks x

I am into third week and have had the ups and downs. Not helped by ear and throat infection too. It well worth joining the discussion 'Anyone NOT had any side effects on Citalopram?

There are some real understanding people there to help us all thru

Hi jimbo

Sounds like the cits are working already

An ear and throat infection is a sign your chilling out and all bodys getting rid of the bad

Stick with it

Keep strong

Hi I'm on day 11 feel a slight improvement but the mornings are awful find it had to get up and then dread what the day is going to bring. My mind races scared this horrible thing is not going to go away I have been off work for 3 months now and are desperate to get back. I can,t eat during the day and try to have a small evening meal, I have given up coffee. How much longer?

Lynnet we are at the same stage but as every day goes by I see some improvement

Hi. Jimbo125

Sadly just been made redundant so look for work or if that isn't successful I set up in business myself

Morning are the worst for me, as thehd ay goes on its not so bad.

Jimbo and lynnet

Just a thought I see you take your cits in morning!

I take mine at 8 o clock at night snuggle for bed and sleep like a baby (something I haven't done for ages)

Wake up feeling great

I couldn't take them in the day they knock me out !
