How was your experience with citalopram Oral ?
-
actually, it wasn't a pleasant one, i had a bad reaction, caused heart palpitations, tremors, and increased my anxiety although i took it as instructed.
-
i strongly agree with you vince, my experience was great, i was depressed when i knew i a had cancer, and taking citalopram, it basically gave me back my life.
-
actually this medication has worked wonders for me, if you have been prescripted this medication, go ahead, it changed my life.
-
Thanks for the quick response guys, really appreciate it,and your answers really helped, it made me take a decision.
-
I had a terrible experience. I was misdiagnosed as having depression rather than generalized anxiety disorder and Citalopram increased my anxiety, started self-harming several times a day, self-medicated with alcohol and ended up in hospital. I've heard it can work wonders but please, be careful.
-
its helped me soo much i still have my good days and bad days but it helped me kick start my progress
-
It helped me very much to, you should never, ever mix this with alcohol or any other psychopathic drug, this drug put my anxiety level to 0 it is widely used for the treatment of anxiety as well as depression.
-
Oh, and the amount of the stress hormone, cortisol, in the blood is inversely proportional to the serotonin level - which is why it can help with anxiety symptoms.
-
I haven't noticed much difference yet but only been on it just over 4 weeks. I feel bit more positive though. My sleep has been bit disrupted, but think its getting better. I know two other people who are on citalopram and it has helped them a great deal. I would give it a go and stick with it for at least a couple months to get it in your system.
-
I felt a massive improvement with Citalopram but then it seemed to wear off - my doctor changed me to Ciprelex which is meant to be a more refined version but Ive not felt any improvement
-
For me this is one of the best meds I have been on, for just about a year. I think back to before I took it and I was a total wreck. I couldn't concentrate on anything. But now I can actual sit through a movie with my kids, and not take life so seriously. It also helps having a wonderful team of professionals helping me, I don't know what I would do with out them.
