Coming off citalopram. :(

It would yes Ms M! I did get some facerubs from my moggies but it wasn't quite the same!

AWWWWW! HA!HA! Don't be ungrateful, now.

Well to be fair I would have have been more amenable had one of them not had the runs as well and made me take him up to the vet to get cleaned up. He was absolutely fine otherwise though. Then the dog joined in and I had to get up 2 nights running at silly o'clock to let him make a mad dash outside. Honestly talk about sharing .......

OOOOOOOH! Did you eat the same things? I don't mean that YOU were eating cat and dog food but did they eat yours? Sounds like it.

No I think it was all just coincidence. Mine came from my granddaughter who had had it the week before. I had babysat her on Thursday and Friday as she couldn't go to nursery and on Sunday through to yesterday I paid for it lol! Good job she's cute .......

Strange, eh? Nice to have a grandchild - I've none and no children.

It IS nice although you never stop being a mum, no matter what age you are! And it's lovely to see the world through a little one's eyes again.

Unfortunately, it wasn't planned, for me. A big regret but not my choice.

Oh that's sad. I know I was devastated when my ex husband said he didn't want family - AFTER we were married ........ it was only then I understood the meaning of the urge to become a mother - a force to be reckoned with I discovered! He was persuaded to have one but I think he would have rather not have had any.

oh i would luv to have a grandchild, but my eldest daughter shes 26 is having none of it. She is not very maternal and doesn't want children yet if not at all, shes in university reading Law.

I keep on telling her that her body clock is running out lol, she tells me to tell my son who's 24 to have them, but, i cant trust him to walk across the road safely never mind be a dad, hes so laid back hes horizontal lol

So to keep my company apart from my hubby, i have a dysfunctional dog called Fred who thinks hes human, we've had to turn the door handles upside down as he can open them, had to move his treats as he can open cupboards, hes 6yrs now so has calmed down a lot, but when he was a puppy he was a nightmare lol

Hope you are all well today, am not to bad just a dull headache, so on monday will be going down to 5mg,

Ms mac, i've kind of adopted my neighbours 3 children 11,8 and 6, their mum is as rough and ready as you can get, but she has 3 of the most polite and respectful children i have seen in a long time, they are a credit to her, the youngest one is adorable with the most cheeky smile which melts your heart lol

right time to get off my bum and do some housework, then gonna take dog for a walk, no rest for the wicked hey lol

Hi Julie

Your dog sounds adorable!!!! As for your daughter, you never know what the future holds. Her studying comes first, at the moment. No children around me now. Had horrible kids next to me who made my life hell. No-one liked them.

I had that dull headache too but glad to report that, and the dizziness has gone. Site or laptop running very slow when I type.

I've been off Cit for seven days now. I was taking 40mg for about two years and before that it was Prozac for four years. Prozac made me feel like my feeling were too numb but for my situation it was best. Now things are a lot better so I want to get off Cit.

I had strep throat for a week and was in such a bad way I forgot to take my meds for four days. I decided to stay off them but its been a week now and the dizziness is a bit bad. I've felt out of it and have had a headache since I stopped taking it and today I felt pulsing in my headache but it wasn't bad. I'm 39 with MS and disabled so I can stay at home and relax and detox off Cit. I'm not sure how long the symtoms will last but I won't have insurance for another month so I can't afford to see my doctor right now and ask about it.

Since I stopped taking Cit I have started dreaming for the first time in years. It has also had a big impact (pun not intended) on my sex life. I feel like life will be much better with out Cit but I remember when I really did need it but now times are changed and I can't wait to move on without Cit.

Harold, I had that dizziness and muzzy head for about 3 weeks and it has stopped - never thought it would and it was horrible while it lasted.

I'm having a rocky ride, with the withdrawal but I had rocky rides taking it so what's the difference? LIFE needs to change and I know that.

That made me laugh Julie! I have the opposite problem - my daughter (also 26) had a baby as a single mum and is now really really broody again! I'm trying to get her to cross her legs ...... There's one good thing though - she had her daughter with a long term friend whom she was once engaged to - they still love each other I think but are like Ross and Rachel in FRIENDS - can't live with each other, can't live without each other - but at least she wants the baby with him. It also doesn't help that the government practically throw pots of money at single mums these days - gives absolutely NO incentive to NOT do it the wrong way round!

Hi marg

yes i totally agree with you, i would have been to scared to be a single mum when i was younger as my mum would have murdered me lol

its been 10 days on 10mg of cit and apart from a couple of headaches am pleased to say that am doing ok, i feel slightly guilty for saying that and sorry to everyone who is coming off them, but when i have this particular brand of cit, its wonderful no side effects what so ever!!!!

have only got a bout 2 weeks of them left, so am going down to 5mg in the next couple of days, thats if my skill of cutting them in half works out, the tablets are the oval ones, so there small enough already being cut to 10mg lol

still dont feel much emotion, am getting a couple of stomach churns like when you jump and your tummy flips, so maybe it will happen soon and i will be crying my eyes out, yeah i know its silly wanting to cry lol, but i know i'll be getting me back when i do
