Re: Long term use of Cipralex
Only had mine for 6 months and life situations haven't helped keep that shorter or plan any change as yet. sigh.
If you've always had problems in winter it may be that you are also affected by SAD (seasonal affected disorder). That's where the lack of natural sunlight leads to depression like symptoms. This would aggravate your tendency to anx/dep. It could be worth discussing with your doctor or if you have the money buy an anti-SAD lamp and see if it helps. A quick Google "anti SAD lamp" shows quite a lot under £150. Suppliers include sad.co.uk, bupa, lots of others. Worth a thought anyway.
