Morning all,

I've felt unable to drive for over a year now, I'm just too, well, nervous really. I've been on Citalopram for about a year but am concerned that the drowsiness it promotes is a danger to myself and others if I get behind the wheel again.

I did drive round to our village store a couple of months ago, a round trip of about 4km, and it took me nearly half an hour! I didn't go above 20mph and could have been mistaken for the cloth capped pensioner with his face pressed against the windscreen, clutching the steering wheel tightly with both, gloved, hands!! When I did eventually get home (having been overtaken by two ducks!) I was sweating, trembling and breathing heavily.

Does anywone else have this problem?

Happiness and light to you all,
'Chopper'

I saw her once, one little while, and then no more:
’Twas Eden’s light on Earth a while, and then no more.
Amid the throng she passed along the meadow-floor:
Spring seemed to smile on Earth awhile, and then no more;
But whence she came, which way she went, what garb she wore
I noted not; I gazed a while, and then no more!
