Itook an SNRI before citalopram and it made me feel out of controL with deep deppression and suicidal thoughts. They are meant to work for people suffering with depression ,but the results against anxiety arent as good .Dont honestly know what my DR was thinking about giving me these 3 weeks before my holiday,needless to say I didnt go ...and its left me even more phobic about going away..Suexx
