Hello, sorry to hear you are feeling unsure about the citalopram.
I can only say that it should help your symptoms while you are able to carry on with life.It helped me, and now 9 months on I am receiving counselling, returning to work and can see the tablet helped for a while, along with a positive outlook. I am now weaning off the tablet and can see it was a prop when I needed it most.
You have freedom of will to make your own life choices, but I know it is difficult when you feel anxious and depressed with life.
I did not gain weight as I ate healthily and commenced gym, yoga membership as I had no work for the last 9 months.On a good note at least you are choosing wethwr to take this or not, I just gulped it down at the time and didn-'t really care either way - but then I would have stuck my head in a gas oven if someone had said at the time!!LOL
If you really do not want to take, I agree you need to discuss your concerns with your GP, hope they are nice.
Good Luck and look forwards.:wink:

Hi there, can you give me info on how you are weaning off the tablets? I'm also trying to come off them after 6 years :yikes:

Hello
I did try to write this in once before but the moderators did not print it. I will try again under separate cover, in case they withhold again at least you can see I did try to reply!

Hello
I was on 20mgs at the time, so was advised to take 1 every other day. This was not any good as if I forgot to take 1 there would be a 2 day gap and I suffered side effects both physical and emotionally. Went back to Doc he said take 10mgs every day. This went OK, 2 months on he has now advised 10mgs every other day which seems ok so far.
I am sure that in time I may have to ride through some symptoms which if I have to I will, but then I don't want to take these anymore so I'm very determined to kick them.
That it not to say that they helped me a lot in the last year.
Good Luck if you are also "weaning" it is a bit of a weird one.
