Hi Celtic,
I'm on day 18 of them and feeling a bit like you, like i'm going backwards rather than forwards. Some days are great, but the bad days are just awful. I did a silly thing on tuesday night and went back to my docs. He said it's early days and i've got to give them chance to work. I've been on them before and know they do work, but like you just feeling impatient with these feelings.
We just need to ride it out hun, show your GF this message if she's a bit stressed by it all, she needs to know you will feel better eventually.
:hugs:

Hi Celtic67

I was on Citralopram for 2mths it made me feel awful so i went back to my Dr and explained exactly how i was feeling. All i wanted to do was sleep, futher to that my moods were really up and down,so i can relate to how you feel.... im lucky to have an understanding family but at the same time i feel very distance from them and i dont want to go out and avoid people. As of today ive now just taken my prozac tab .... and feeling a lil anxious myself !!

You should go see your Dr and tell them exactly how u feel as some anti- depressants may not be rite for you ....
