Hi Folks,
First time on this type of site and looking for help as my wife of 46 years has just been prescribed Citalopram 20mg
She has only had depression on a couple of times in her life, when she had a misscarrage and when her father died many years ago, but has had a rather intrusive operation recently and despite seeing the surgeon to confirm all is in order due to hypersentivity of the operation area, she has become depressed again
The Dr is very good and took her through a computer based test which confirmed that she was suffering depression and prescrived the 20mg tablets.
The first tablet was on Thursday evening, sice then she has hardly eaten, is extreemly tense and last night was shaking all over and cannot sleep. She feels that she does not want to continue th pills but should she stop and refer to the Dr again
As usual......... sods law ........ when a problem arrises it's usually a week end or like now a bank holiday so no surgery till Tuesday.
Could phone the emergency line but should I?. Very concerned she does not feel like getting up at all and am looking for advise.
Any help please.
Malcolm
