Hi all, i hope everyone is getting on ok with the meds but i thought i would share my experience with you and advice would be greatly appreciated. I have really felt up and down on these tablets sometimes i feel really happy and sometimes dont even want to get out of bed! also i have had 3 urine infections since starting them. The out of hours doctor told me to stop them but i havent as i want to see my own doctor. I felt the antibiotics interfered with citalopram and made me feel in general ill!.. i am now starting to loose hope.. my anxiety i dont feel is that much better although it does not help that i am mulling around the house i dont like the winter either so that does not help.Really not sure what to do mabey i am more depressed than i thought and need a higher dose. I am still getting side effects also... has anyone got any advice or had the same symptoms as me????? x
forgot to add on 20 mg...x
Hi, I to have just reached the 5 weeks on Citalopram today.
In regards to urine infection I to have had similar problems, and was given A pressary instead of tablets, which is alot better, maybe you could ask your doctor if you can try a pressary rather than antibiotics
I am sorry to hear you are still having side effects, and also feeling rather low, if you read my previous post under \"citalopram has worked, but you need to help it work\" hopefully will help you.
I find that you should try and focus on the good days rather then bad days.
I am feeling alot better, however I to am still not working after having 5 weeks off, this is due to a very stressful job, and hope to find another, so you are not alone in that department lol.
What side effects you still getting?
i am still getting up and down days sometimes i find that i get a cold rush sensation in my body and i feel confused alot of the time its a weird feeling. on a positive note i do feel it has lifted my depression slightly and others around me have noticed especially around the time of the month as i suffer really bad p.m.t...
. im just hoping that i can ride this out and the confusion will settle. I dont want to stop them as i was so bad before and i am able to cope a little better. As for the stressful job i have a high powered job and i have had to cut the days right down i think a certain amount of stress is good for you but not an overload. I also think if you can push through the feelings of depression and panic that were associated within your work place it makes you a stronger person as you feel you have accomplished something. Depression is a battle but we have to accept it and give our tired mind time to heal. I know its easier said than done as sometimes i feel very alone and i have lots of support around me. It does really help to communicate with others experiencing this and on the same medication.
