Thanks for responding PDU. Yes, Citalopram was the first AD I took but I had a pretty negative reaction to it. It made me extremely suicidal within 3 days which was scary as I'd never felt like that previously ever.

The consultant psychiatrist at the MHAU felt that AD's weren't the answer for HA and I was referred for CBT which is ongoing. It's been very up and down since then so my GP decided to throw mirtazipine in the mix which my psychiatrist was happy with but it's not had any effect over the 6 months odd I've been on it other than the zombie like effect every morning which I was uncomfortable with.

I'm seeing a new psychiatrist on 12/2 so I'll discuss the next step there and I guess try and tough out this withdrawal although it's pretty grim right now!

Thanks for the advice.
