Hi there
I was wondering if anyone else on here takes ssri meds long term? I have suffered with several bouts of anxiety over the years and have taken Citalopram for nearly 8 years! I tapered off them at the beginning of the year and was doing well. However following a health scare I am now suffering anxiety again. My doc has put me back on the Citalopram 10mg 1 week, then 20mg for three weeks. I thought I was getting there but the last few days has been worse than ever. Despite this my doc says they have always worked in the past and will again. I suppose what I am trying to ask is if anyone has found that the citalopram can take so long to work? Also I feel such an oddity having to take these pills long term. They have helped but everyone I know who has used them only seem to take them for a few months and then are fine!
Thanks
