My doctor put me on 20mg of Fluoxetine to help me deal with anxiety and stress, this is after a week on Citalopram (had some weird side effects from these).
I have to start taking these now on Monday as I was taken off the Citalopram today.
Has anyone been on Cita before then moved to Fluox?

I haven't gone straight from Citalopram to Fluoextine, but I have been on Citalopram in the past. I'd have to say personally, I haven't found a lot of difference between the two. It's almost inevitable you'll get some side effects when you first start taking SSRI's, but hang in there, it DOES make you better in the long run. So try and stick with them rather than stopping them prematurely, as that can make matters worse from what I've read.
All the best, cheers.

Had to take one yesterday as I felt I couldn't cope (stress/anxiety) then I felt quite guilty after it - not going to take any more until Monday (when I'm supposed to start).

Well my stress/anxiety levels went straight up as the call progressed, was breathing quite slowly to lower my heartbeat but didn't seem to do any use. Nearly locked up on the phone but thankfully didn't.
Hopefully next time I'll be able to cope better
