Hi Randomworry

I am sorry no-one has yet answered your post.

I have no real solutions to your problem but am about to take the plunge and take Cipralex myself. It has been suggested to me that 10mg is quite a high initial dose and that I should cut them in half and take 5mg to give myself a chance and (hopefully) avoid the worst of the side effects.

Anyway think that is what I am going to do-I am not coping without meds but like yourself and many others I suspect am s*!t scared of going down the meds route again. But I think I just have to accept I need them right now.

Good luck to you-believe me I know how hard a road this is but I wish you well.

Gordon
