A positive experience

Hi all,

I posted on here quite a bit when I first started taking cit. i'm on 20mg a day and I did suffer from a lot of side effects - depersonalisation, increased anxiety, headaches and extreme tiredness.

Its been 4 months now and its working really well. I'm back working full time and feel fine about it. I actually prefer to get up out of bed and do something than laze in bed all day like I used to do. I'm far more motivated about things.

The anxiety has gone down a lot, its not gone completely but it has only been 4 months so I'm not too concerned, and being on the cit allows me to be more calm and deal with it better.

When I first started taking it, I wanted to stop straight away cause I hated the way it made me feel, but now the benefits far outweigh the side effects I had at the beginning.

Anybody thats got a few side effects and is nervous about it, I'd say stick with it..I know its scary, I've been through it.

It just takes time for your body/brain to get used to taking the cit, but I definitely feel that it was the best choice for me.

I know I'm not back to 100% yet but even after these 4 months, my dr said there had been a remarkable improvement.

Hope everyones well, stay strong

That's great news.
