Hi all,
I came off Citalopram a year ago, after being on it for 2 1/2 years.
However I am starting to think I am almost back to being as debilitated as I was when I was first put on them. For the past couple months particularly, I have angrily denied that I am depressed and fought my case that I am just frustrated at constantly feeling unwell/ill and not being able to enjoy life.
I have not been to the Drs to discuss this, as I am scared that they may prescribe the Cit. to me again and I just cannot forget how awful the side effects were when I started them. I have awful health anxiety anyway and emetophobia and it's almost this alone that is preventing me from seeking help at the moment.
My question is to those who have stopped the Cit, then had to re-start them again; were the side effects any less at all when taking them again? Would the body recognise the drug and accept it more quickly or is it the same as if it's never had it before?
I feel like I'm in a catch 22 situation at the moment and I just don't know what to do
