My doctor has diagnosed me with depression which is kinda upseeting and has prescirbed me on citalopram. I just want to know does it actually work and help with depression?
I also suffer from Insomnia and have been prescribed Temazepam for it but I also wanna know is that drug addcitive and will it help with my sleeping?
I signed my contract at work just over 3 weeks ago and now I've been stressed out so much that its led to depresison. My doctor has said she is more than happy to write me a sick note and that I need to speak to my manager and take time off work. But I dont know what to do and how should I tell my manager as I've only just propery started work?! what if she doesnt understand and doesn't give me the time off! I dont know what to do and I cant even think straight anymore please help, I need advice!
If you in a trial situation I be careful, but if you got thru this and live in UK the law is on your side and they cant just fire you.
In Answer to your question how much detail do you want about citalpram ? It works on receptors in the brain. Increasing serotonin , a chemical that control mood ( along with other that kick in based on serotonin levels )
SSRI are not addicitive, however you do like all medicine that you take long term ( more than 2 weeks ) you do need to wean of them properly or your body gets rather upset.
True, the UK law system would be on my side but I dont think my manager would.
I havent yet taken my medication cause I want to find out if the medication will work effectively and well. so that's what I wanted to basically find out really. but thanks for your advice.
Your med in that combination should work well but until you try them you wont know if your body will like them or not, that I guess is the problem. You cant be any worse for trying thou, so I would take them personal and try to get back on track
ohh okay, thank you. I will try them out and see how my body reacts to it. The only problem is I will be taking both Citalopram and Temazepam everyday so im quite concerned about both medications mixing together and making me drowsy or worse
Its like trying new food, or doing things for the first time so your bound to be a little apprehensive. But rememeber your in control so therefore there is no need to worry. You can say i dont like the side effects and speak to gp. If you remember your in control you going to be fine
