newbie here

[Daisy-chains]

Hello I'm Daisy
I have been suffering with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. I found this forum whilst looking for information about the effects of citalopram. I found the citalopram users guide post by PsychoPoet very informative and reassuring,as I have only been taking the medication for 3 months. I had a further look round the site and decided to join.
My journey to recovery is in it's infancy, I know that years of depression are going to take a long time to recover from and i think this forum will be an helpful aid, look forward to getting to know some of you.

Hi Daisy, I am taking Citilapram are you weighing up your options?

It's a bit of a roller coaster but 5 weeks in I am hoping that things are on the up.

Welcome to nmp btw :)

Day 18 of Citalopram. Definitely a roller coaster like Marty says. Some days are hell, but that first week or so I am sure was the worst for everyone

Hi Daisy, I too am on citalopram Welcome aboard...this site makes the journey a little less bumpy! x

[Daisy-chains]

Thank you for your warm welcomes, :D
I feel like this could be my sanctuary around people who understand where I'm coming from!
The citalopram experience has been a learning curve to say the least, that first week was indeed hell, the headache I had was what I could only describe akin to what I think a frontal lobotomy would feel like!
But hey, I will probably end up going into detail about it on the citalopram forum at some point.
From what I have seen so far this site is a wealth of support and information, it feels pretty cool to be here.....oh yes and I talk a lot :shades:

I've started a program called MindGym as recommended by my doctor cbt online, this is a convenient thing for me to get started on to fit in with my work.

Hi Daisy

Welcome :hugs:I'm quite new on here too and am now 6 weeks into my Citalopram journey. I agree the first few weeks are sketchy but fingers crossed they will do their job soon! x

[Daisy-chains]

Thank you strawberrygirl and fee :flowers:
I feel as if things are starting to settle down gradually for me now at 40mg.
must beware of my inner child's new mojo tho', as I almost told my boss to 'do one' today :whistles:
