Hi,

I know exactly how you feel, I have tried both citroplam and fluxetine and both made me ill and I gave up after 2 weeks, so I am hoping to find alternative remedies - as I just can't handle the side affects, don't think my body is good with tablets. You might be fine though as many people go onto anti depressants and are fine
good luck :)

I too had lots of problems on Citalopram so you are not alone- please speak with your GP about your feelings as they can transfer you to a better med
