Bong - Hope you are bearing up OK. No, I'm not on any medication, the whole citalopram episode was enough to put me off trying meds for life. Although to be honest, I'm not sure I need them at the moment anyway.
I thought for a while that I couldnt possibly get better without tablets but after having months of CBT and doing it religiously I can honestly say there has been a ten fold improvement.
When I was on citalopram the horrid thoughts were the worse for me - they seemed to put things in my mind that werent there before and even after stopping the treatment I was left with the psychological consequences of taking them. That said, my CPN was convinced that if I had given them a little more time then they would have worked for me - and they might for you! Please tell me if I have scared you by telling you my bad experience - I know this drug works wonders for some people! Clare. xxx
