hello i suffer with major anxiety and have been on and off antidepressants for the past 3 years. the first one i was on was citalopram and it worked wonders and after 6 months a came off it to have a baby. 6 months after having my baby boy my anxiety started to come back so i was started on a different anti D called paroxetine. this was amazing and worked after one week i felt amazing on this drug but the sexual side effects became an issue and i asked to switch back to citalopram. started on 10mg for 4 weeks and have now been back up to my normal dose 20 mg. im feeling slighly anxious and unmotivated at the moment. just wondering if anyone else has been through a similar experence x
