Hello,

You need to go an s speak to someone about the way that you are feeling. Just stopping taking the tablet are going to make everything so much worse.

Even if you just call NHS direct, they should be able to give you some valid advice.

hi thanx for the response.....the feelings im having arent good,but thought it is the meds bringing it all out,and thought it got worse b4 it got better,so do i need to speak or see someone or is it the citolpram as am confused now thanx

Hi Canycane

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling this bad i have been there myself so i know how you feel.

Give this drug at least 2 weeks to kick in i have been on it for nearly 4 months now and i am only stating to feel better, once the nastie side effects have gone you should start to pick up.

I find this site very helpfull esp when i am feeling bad, its helpfull to know that i am not the only one feeling like this and there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

i found the 1st week i felt really weird the GP said that i will feel worse before i feel better. so it may be the cit that is making you feel worse hopefull only temporally.

Jemmina was right the NHS drict guys will be able to advise you if it is the drugs.

If you need to talk to some one you could try calling the sermartians (sorry i can spell) they have helped me the last time for over 2 hours.

I hope you feel happier soon and with the right help you will be able to lead a happy enjoyable life

Best wishes

Marie
