Good news!

Hello everybody!

After 6 months on 40mg of citalopram (and a couple of months of 20mg before that) I'm halving my dose. It's the second day and so far I haven't had any side effects - except perhaps being a little more jumpy than usual.

I haven't thought about dying for weeks and that evil voice telling me to hurt myself is silenced. I'm actually happy. It's unbelievable but true. I have survived suicide, and I'm well equipped to help anyone who has suffered something similar to me.

So chin up - a few months after a terribly low point in your life, you can be springy and happy and enthusiastic for long periods of time. You just need to work at it. Good luck everyone.

It's the fifth day now and I've felt pangs of sadness, and I've been quite sleepy, but that might be down to something else. I was expecting worse side effects but it's not too bad. Overall I'm relaxed and can laugh

Stay positive and relaxed, good luck.
