Hi I havent been on here for a while, well since my medication started to make me feel better. I had severe 24 hour dibilitating anxiety,and since taking citalopram week by week I began to feel like normal again. It took about a year roughly. The thing is I did try to weane off the meds about 7 months ago after finding out I was pregnant, but the Anxiety came back pretty much straight away when I reduced down to 10mg from 40mg in a month. I feel really good being on Citalopram but i feel like I am cheating and havent given my brain a chance to recover by itself. I also feel like I am delaying the inevitable of feeling terrible again if I decide to try and come off of them again. I was also worried that maybe my brain is completely broke and I will need to take these tablets forever, which is what I will do to never go through what I experienced again. Does anyone know if you can carry on taking antidepressants for the rest of your life? :flowers:
