hey everyone
i see a few people are on citalopram like me and it seems to help them also, i was feeling very depressed and tearful before but now they control my emotions a bit which is good, i am on them because i have suffered a great loss in the past year and finding it very hard to come to terms with it, nice there are others on here that i can talk to. be nice to hear from others..

Still can't sleep very well though
i'm 21. been on anti-depressants since i was 14. i'm not pleased about it, but every time i've come off them i've been worse. been on citalopram for about six months, before that i was on sertraline, before that citalopram, before that prozac. it's treatment for my GAD, depression, ED and BPD (questionably). i think it's quite a good AD to be honest, a lot of people seem to get on well with it. for me i find that it takes the edge off my extreme emotions a little bit. i still feel really depressed and anxious but slightly less than when i don't take them.
it's a good idea that you get regular reviews and hopefully it will only be a temporary measure. are you having any counselling or anything?
i've never had counselling but i've had various forms of psychotherapy.
it might be a good idea to email your uni counselling service and ask for an appointment, i'm sure they could help you. medication won't make everything better unless your problem is purely caused by your brain chemistry. if you give counselling a go and it isn't for you then at least you'll have tried. but if you don't then you'll never know.
i didn't get anything out of citalopram the first time i took it either. i'm not getting a huge amount out of it this time to be honest but it's better than nothing.
speak to your doctor next time you go for a review, you might need an increase or a change.
I haven't been able to cry since going onto Citalopram. Saved my butt in many situations but can also be frustrating!
anyone else fancy talkin bout it?
