Hi Debbi. Sorry you have not had a good result thus far. I was on 20mg from the start and my experience was that it took a good six weeks for relief of all the symptoms. Perhaps this is not for you and I am sure your doctor will sort out something to help you. At the outset of treatment I was also prescribed a sleeping pill called Zopiclone. This was used for a short period until the full benefits of Cipralex kicked in after six weeks or so. I am now only on Cipralex and find it very effective. Good luck and best wishes for a speedy resolution to the problem.

Hi Debbi, good your doctor is monitoring you and hopefully the withdrawal will help you. I said before that perhaps Cipralex was not for you. There are other medications available and the best person to determine a suitable one is your GP. As you say you are not alone - lots of us have been there, try to keep your chin up. Best wishes.
