Morning Kim
One tablet cannot be right for every person sweetheart.
Do as you say, speak with your doctor and ask if you can try something else. They did the same to me - I felt really depressed while on them, I went to my doctor with sleeping problems and came out with the prescription after she told me I was suffering from anxiety. Okay, maybe I was suffering anxiety - but these tablets made my anxiety worse, I couldn't motivate myself and I felt very depressed.
I have since been told my a mecial person (not my doctor) that there's an ingredient in syndol that some people have used to treat anxiety - more to the point it has also been prescribed (off the label) by some doctors to treat anxiety.
Quote: doxylamine succinate is possibly more effective than the barbiturate phenobarbital for use as a sedative. For this reason, doxylamine has sometimes been used off label in a manner similar to diphenhydramine for the reduction of anxiety symptoms.
I found the above on wikipedia that backs up what I have been told.
You can buy syndol over the counter :D
The downside of taking syndol is that it also contains codiene - oh my good old buddy - codiene :oops:
Each Syndol tablet contains
Paracetamol an analgesic (pain killer) and antipyretic (lowers body temperature)
Codeine Phosphate an analgesic
Doxylamine Succinate an antihistamine
Caffeine is a mild stimulant
I'm not suggesting you go out and buy syndol and start self medicating although it might be worth trying it just to see if it does have a calming effect on you and helps relieve some of the anxiety. If it does, you can go armed lol to your GP and ask if he/she might perhaps prescribe you some Doxylamine Succinate, rather than taking syndol which contains ingredients you don't need.
I am assuming a doctor who prescribes Doxylamine Succinate will be giving a higher dose of it than what syndol contains.
Stay strong Kim - you have come a long way - don't let it beat you now.
Hey! By the way it snowed here last night :D Katy - start writing that Xmas list :oops:

Is it any wonder...............
Side effects of citalopram:
:shock: Increased sweating, shakiness, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping, agitation, nervousness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight changes, being aware of your heart beating, 'pins and needles', difficulty concentrating, anxiety, confusion, runny nose, sexual difficulties, indigestion, stomach pain, feeling faint, and difficulties in passing water :shock:
The above is enough to send even the healthiest of minds into chaos!
25 years and my life is still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh ooh...
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time in this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day for a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
Then I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
what's goin' on
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I say hey, what's going on...
25 years and my life is still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination.
Melbi, I remeber that song! I was 16 or so , had my first can of super tennants to that one!!!!! And I say Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey, I sing hey, Whats going on?

Hi Kim
How are you feeling now hun? I am not sure why the link doesn't work, if I click on it, it takes me straight into the chatroom. Not sure if perhaps you might need to register first with spcn?????????
We are all entitled to feel dorry for ourselves from time to time Kim - what we really need to do at thjose times is pamper ourselves and give ourselves the time to be quiet etc.
One reason I would never get married again or even live with another man is I love having the bed all to myself now LOLOLOL and no one to wake me with their snoring!
