Hello all,
I was put on Seroxat when I was about 17, after having been on Citalopram for a while to no avail. I can honestly say before going on Seroxat I had no inclination towards self harm, however I started doing this regularly whilst on Seroxat. It took me the best part of a year to come off it, during which time I had the most horrendous headaches and suicidal thoughts. I would literally have to make emergency appointments at Doctor's away from home in order to get more pills if I hadn't taken any away with me.
When I did finally manage to come off it I was put off going back onto any kind of anti-depressant for several years. Eventually I went onto Prozac but have to say even now I will do all I can to avoid taking that as I don't want to become dependant upon them.
I think Seroxat probably works for some people but agree that it should certainly not be given to younger people.
