I have been on Cipralex for over 3 years, but am still depressed through worry I guess, been an anxiety and agoraphobia sufferer for many years, also am addicted to Valium for about 30 years,
I was taken off SEROXAT cold turkey by a stupid doctor, and not been the same since, had a terrible time.I am on 15mgs Cipralex, and 20mgs of Valium, also have 2 SR Propranalol a day. Do you take Cipralex morning as I do or night, which my GP will not let me do from Blossom, Not able to get in chat room, why I do not know. Been a member for a few years now. from Blossom

blossom i think you seriously need to go to the docs and get a different anti depressant especially if they dont work as there is no point in taking them!!! Some meds are more effective on different ppl!!
