Hi guys,

Brief outline-

Started AD's in April, Dosulepin, 3 months on them, didn't work out.

Started on Citalopram in August to present date, currently on 40mg

I'm currently at a crossroads at the moment, I did reach a peak on these were I wasn't exactly doing cartwheels but the anxiety went,I was content and I was fully concentrated at work etc. While my anxiety is still ok and I'm not as worked up as I once was, my original symptoms are back from before I started on AD's. Lack of concentration, feeling flat, strange crawling sensations in my brain (the reason why I was put on AD's, after seeing a specialist). I even started a new temp-perm job 2 weeks ago and I was so bad I didn't go back after the first day as my head was all over the place.
Now some of you might say this is the medication that maybe the cause, but I will state again this is exactly what I was like before starting AD's, so it makes me believe that the meds are losing there effectiveness.

I have an appointment with my GP tonight and i do feel that this is the last throw of the dice regarding AD's so I feel its important to finally find one that will suit me.

I was thinking it was maybe an option to switch to Escitalopram, i know it's a purer form of citalopram, has any done this? if so was it more effective and what dose did you start on bearing in mind that I am currently on 40mg .

I was also looking into the possibility of switching to Cymbalta, but I will discuss this with my GP tonight, just wanted your opinions first.

All help apprecitated!


Thanks
