    hey again deblou. decreasing dose will make you feel better temporarily but will effect you eventually

    the problem is with therapy, it's really good but you have to be in the right frame of mind for it to work more successfully

    I will be honest with you. switching to sertraline has been very difficult. and it still is. I would rather be honest and by no means want to worry you but it will pass and it will get better when the dose kicks in.

    dont suffer anymore now the citalopram has pooped out. because you will have to change eventually right? the most important thing is you get better so what ever you chose to do we will all support you.

    its gonna be tough but you need to get better x

    hi I was on sertraline 25mg then up to 50 . started to feel slighty better and was upped too 100 (tofast) but just over a year on feel like the person I was when I was young. now 53 . my confidence has returned and a more coherent train of thought . So persevere through the anxiety and give it a good go . Jim
