hi everyone,
I'm su. Sorry this may be a long post but I thought I should explain my situation in the intro bit hope you don't mind..[:I]
I was diagnosed with depression on Monday but never realised I was actually depressed since I got used to feeling really crap about myself all the time (it's been about 2 yrs). I thought it was hormones as I get emotional and cry lots around my period but recently I've been getting more and more anxious about absolutely everything even going to the shops on my own and speaking to people at work! After a particularly weepy and awful week of PMS last week, (where I became more certain it was starting to affect the wonderful relationship I have with my boyfriend) I went to the drs to see if I could get counselling for social anxiety but she said I was actually depressed so gave me Citalopram 10mg tabs.
It is day 2 of my citalopram and I am feeling rather strange. So decided to surf the net to see if anyone else felt the same as me, both in the depression aspect but also the citalopram aspect. By strange I mean light headed, head-achey, a bit not-with-it, heavy-headed (my head's just all over the place!), jaw feels funny like it locks or trembles. Side effects are making me worry even more! I am considering stopping my pills as I am due to go on hol on fri and don't want these side effects spoiling my hol! silly as it may sound but i want to have a good time, be able to drink and smoke and not worry about going out with my friends.
Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated, thanks everyone for reading and hello!
Su xx
