Hi, I am 39 and have been on Citalopram 20mgs for almost a year. In that time I feel alot happier. I have achieved so much since taking these meds. It is difficult to imagine where I was emotionally this time last year, I had completely fallen apart at the seams. Taking the meds was hard work for the first few weeks - 3 days in and I was at my lowest ever. Day by day things got a little better and now I am back working and studying for a degree. So with all that positive feedback there is a BIG negative - I have gained 2 stone, going from a happy 16-18 to a unhappy 20. :doh:
In part I think the meds make me more relaxed about my food choices, but I have not been binge eating and generally I am pretty healthy. However I am always hungry now, my stomach audibly rumbles regularly and I don't seem to feel full ever. I probably drink a bit too much, but that's another story! Does anyone have any advice for me?
