I am back on it for the past 6 days and am taking it every day as prescribed. When can I expect to feel the benefits and start feeling more like myself again. I have also been prescribed trazodone to help me sleep at night. I need to hear from someone else who feels like they are in a dark hole again due to their stupidity and screwing up and missing doses. I need to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks
Dont worry! !
Keep taking tabs regularly you wil be on top dont despair it will be ok
I did it at Christmas felt really well missed one tablet
Had glass of wine maybe to and was very bad for few days
You so learn by your mistakes
It's not a cure.
I take 40mg per day if I miss a dose or if mess up my timings I tumble into despair for a while..!.but for me it is better than wanting to die every second of the day week after week..
Stick with it... I do hope one day to give up....
Dear osprey
I feel that if the cits are working they are a cure for now
And we are so lucky these drugs are available
Keep strong
Jeanne,
Probably just a few more days. I think you will be okay, sometimes it can be 10 days or so to get caught up.
Stay strong - if it worked before, it just needs time to get back into your brain etc...
On the contraire , I took double my medication one time ( before I started to come off) and oh my it was AWFUL. I didn't know what was wrong with me, about 2 hours after I accidently took the daily dose twice I could hardly even think, my heart was racing and I started talking really fast and in run on sentences, oh and was pissed at everything and everyone. Not applicable to your situation, but either way you need to get the dose right.
We are all here for you.
Best, Michelle
Yes that is the way it is...is it better than suicide? for those without purpose life is miserable. Realising we only live once,.and all that entails? This drug help perpetuate your existance make the most of it if you can..once again you only live once.
Yes that happens; it's different for everyone. But for me when I'm off the meds for about a week or so...I found my moods to be more extreme. Crying easily when I'm not a person who cries easily. Anger and yes moderate depression. This medication helped with my depression but I'm find now and want to get off. Withdrawals
from this medication can be serious. I'm having to get help from my doctor to weaned off. So if you need the meds for now don't go too long without taking it.
Thank u all 4 your thoughtful posts. Knowing others go thru the same helps immensely. It is now day 9 back on citalopram and feeling a little more balanced. Now my ocd has increased but I hope this is due to the anxiety. It truly sucks, does anyone out their get relief from ocd when anxiety subsides? Thank you for your much needed replies.
I wouldn't say im ocd but im not as lazy
Im decorating!!
Haven't done that for ages!!!
