I recently started Citalopram after months of anxiety & depression. I went through a bad break up & was taking A class drugs recreationally (very stupid I know) once a month for about a year before hand. I'm not 100% sure if there is a correlation as even after I stopped taking drugs it was months later I had my first panic attack. I just want to know has anyone else on here developed depression/ anxiety after drug abuse & did they find any anti-depressants that worked for them?
Any help would be so much appreciated.
Many thanks x
Hey,
Was your GP aware of the drug abuse before he put you on the tablets?
Because I stopped doing any drugs before I had my first panic attack I never mentioned it. It's been nearly 3 years since Iv touched anything so I'm really hoping Iv not done myself some toxicity to my brain although I think that's just wishful thinking. It was just the odd weekend here & there & then a week long holiday in Ibiza. Iv a meeting with my psychologist Tuesday. He's met others like myself, I'm just to explain everything to him as its my second meeting but I will be honest with him & see what he thinks.
Yes Kirsty thats a good idea, I found being honest helps because you can't get the right supporrt and help without being honest. I was questioning myself for ages, i even thought i was bipolar for a while, but my GP is sure it is not that as bipolar is up and down in stages and dramatic ups and downs mine is down all the time and a certain time in the day. How did your first appointment go?
