HI guys, just to post something positive, i am reall sarting to get my life back now, although it has been a slow recovery, i am now coping with life better than i have in a year, so much so that i have started to reduce my citalopram dose which has been a lifesaver for me, i am only dropping 5 mg each month, and so far have had no problems now on 35mg a day, which i intend to drop to 30mg in october, what i want to say is, this time last year i could'nt leave the house and spent a lot of time in bed, but now i can go out, eat out, do shopping and all the normal things we all take for granted, i am even having my hair done this weekend, so to all you fellow sufferers, keep going, as things do get much better with time and support, and all the nasty side effects do go away, and finally you see the lght at the end of the tunnel, take care and good luck to all who take the time to read this hope it helps xxx
