I am on my 3rd day in the forum and have just got back from the gp who has asked me to consider taking citapromal, I am presently on st johns wort having tried lustral and felt like a zombie and now have extreme anxiety which is only lifted by alcohol which then leads to panice attacks the next day, I have to return to the gp on weds as I asked her to check out if how long I need to be off the st johns wort before I start the citapromal, I have read its 2 wks for lustral and up to a month before starting prozac or else u become at risk of serotonin syndrome- DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TIME SCALE FOR CITAPROMAL AND ST JOHNS WORT ? or is it safe to switch meds. the st johns wort works fine for depression for me and if it wasnt for my acute anxiety I dont think I would feel such D/R and D/P but this citapromal looks promising from the posts I have read as long as u take the side effects for the 1st 2 wks - anyone comments on the switch or the citapromal greatly welcome - ty
