I have been suffering with GAD & depression for 7+ months. I have been on cipralex from 14/03/09 (5, then 10 (after 2 weeks) then 20mg (from 20/04/09). I did make progress but it seems to have reached a plateau since the start of July and I feel like I am still living 'in a bubble'. It's a half-life: really only existing not living!!!
I have an appointment with my GP next Monday and I am thinking of changing over to citalopram as I was on it last year when I had my first ever bout of depression and it worked much more quickly and effectively. However I saw a locum this time and she gave me cipralex.
I don't know if it didn't work as both my GP & I felt so negative about it compared to citalopram or if I haven't gave it long enough to work?????? I am so confused I don't know what to do and am trying to gather up any advice that will help me to make a decision - I just want my life back!!!!!
Thanks in advance for reading this and your advice
