[mnavarra]

Dear all,

I have just been prescribed ciprelex after citalopram was not so good. I find myself crying a lot more and i hardly sleep. Its been 10 days now. What have your expereinces been like and has any one tried cbt to treat anxiety?

Gday Matt
Cipralex turned my life around for the better The first 2 weeks were a bit rough but its been great ever since I take 10mg/day

cipralex sent me right over...i was prescribed it took a single 10mg tablet and i went into complete panic and almost mania...i never took another tablet it scared the hell out of me and left me on vallium for a week waiting for the next attack...i thought i was going crazy...i then started cbt and after only four sessions it has helped me greatly...panic attacks have gone last being 3 months ago although i still get derealisation and depersonalisation...i am also on st johns wort and fish oil tablets and both seem to have helped..
i hope whatever road you go down it works for you.

Made me very ill. Sent me crazy with anxiety and made me tired, sweat more and gave me convulsions. Also lost a lot of weight as it changes the metabolism. I've had it with meds now. Natural remedies are far safer.

Thats funny It made me gain weight. I guess we're all just different cause the natural stuff just doesn't work for me

Hi, i am currently on Ciprelex and it works good for me. But my psychiatrist warned me about the side effects, that the first 2 weeks it will feel allot worse. So she gave me some strong sedatives, that i could take if i got too rough. I need to take the sedatives 4 days but after that there were no problems.
