hello, let me introduce myself
Hiya, my name is lisa, i am 25. Last sept i was prescribed dothiepin for depression and anxiety. It made me sleep at least 18 hours out of 24 everyday for 3-4 months. I worked part time and only managed to scrape myself out of bed for my 4 hour shift 4 times a week. Things got better eventually and i didnt sleep so much, although my social life was in tatters because i couldn't drink alcohol and basically thats what my hobby was and thats how my friends and i spend time together mostly. I resented the fact that i couldn't go out, i didnt see my friends, i broke up with my boyfriend and i decided i had to get off the dothiepin to live a normal life again. After much convincing, the doctor decreased my doses and i finished the pills in june 2003. At last, i could go out and enjoy myself again. Funny thing was i tryed ignoring the signs that the anxiety and depression was rearing its ugly head - again. So here i am, I have been back to the doctor, he prescribed me citalopram yesterday, he gave me a note to be off work for 2 weeks, although it maybe longer. I haven't taken a pilll yet, just doing abit of research. I wonder what this drug will have in store for me.:)
Thanks for listening.
