My mind over exaggerating i know but i cant help it i know its all rediculous if i could switch my mind off all my problems would be solved. you see i have a really good life its not fair of me you are thinking, i know i just have an incredible fear of violence why i dont know this time i am going to get some help my doctor has refered me for some therapy but in the mean time he has put me on tablets citalopram, its the first time i have taken anymedication for my anxiety/depression its my second day on the pills and im starting to wish i hadnt started them i would appreciate some feed back on the pills from anyone who has taken them, sorry its so long!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

I am new to this website, so hello. I was on citalorpram last year and they were alot better then when I was on seroxat. I had no side effects from taking them and were quite easy to come off ( i did it in veyy small stages).
I am now drug free and still suffer from anixety and bad phobias too, but i really feel that drugs did not help. I have been like this for years and the best things that have helped me is my husband, yoga and seeing a therapist and even try accupunctre it can really help with feeling relaxed and calm.
good luck with everthing and talking about is the best way

Hi there ,

Welcome to the site, you'll find a lot of help and support here. As for the tablets i'm on prozac (2nd month) and I was scared at first as well, some people get side effects , others don't try to stick with them they can help and take up to a month to work. Hope you feel better soon.

Take care
