I must admit that reading all the posts, past and present about this drug it makes me wonder why the docs pescribe it in the first place. I mean there are, or used to be drugs around for anxiety that worked well without the awful 'run-up' period, and they certainly didnt give people such severe reactions when first taking them. Ok i know no drug is ideal, but since they all have some withdrawal problems when coming off them, surely some of the others would be better? im thinking of diazepam, lorazepam (ativan) etc...all older drugs but they didnt make people so ill in this way.

Any thoughts on this decca? how long has citolopram been around? it seems to be the only drug the docs pescribe nowadays...but i could be wrong (have been known to be )
