Seems loads of people on here are either on or have been on this Citalopram. What it is for, which group of drugs does it belong to and why hasn't my doc mentioned it to me?

Do you think it would be worth trying it or do you think I'm just searching for a miracle cure that just isn't available? I know exposure is the best way forward but I'm about ready to try anything that will ease things.

firstly your doctor has to give you the drug but i would suggest not trying it unless you hvae to coz it is hard to get off.

I am lucky in that I can swallow tablets whole and without water, but some need to take a large drink to be able to swallow them.

Can you break them in half and do it that way.

Caz - try to avoid meds if you can but there are loads out there to try so if you really feel that they will help then talk to doc about it.
