Hi I was on this drug for ten months and it really didn't agree with me

I was drowsy down and subdued I am now going to try citalapram

I have to taper my sertraline from 50 to 25 for a week and also half

A 20mg tablet of citalapram until Friday wen I go on it completely so

Far I've had a few side effects but othi g horrendous I hope I'm doing

The right thing but think I am as I don't feel as zombie find already

If the others don't work I will come of them I'm ta,ingredients them

For mild depression and slight anxiety I do need something for ten

Days before my period I can not cope and cry every day and so

Tense does anyone have any comments I feel that citalapram could

Be weaker I tried it before utility apparatus try only for a month

I owe know they take longer to work I've also put on over a stone

In weight which I hope to lose.

    hi, citalopram is a good and well tolerated antidepressant for many people and a good alternative to sertraline, so stick with it longer, give it some time to work and i expect you will be feeling better in no time ok

    I checked interactions for the two drugs you are taking and there is a possibility of seratonin syndrome which can be serious.? May not be a fit but it does make you feel horrid. I have dealt with it and have had to quit sertraline somewhat cold turkey but I will say that the wackey withdrawals from sertraline are better than seratonin syndrome.? Check out an interactions checker site and see if it fits. If so, talk to your doc.? Hang in there.?
