Since today I started a treatment with this medicine. Anyone else here who have tried this or similar drugs, and what can you say about it? I'm curious what to expect in about two weeks when they start to kick in. /Joakim |

I've been on Citalopram/Ciprimal. I didn't notice any obvious effect from them at all. I think it depends on the persons state of mind, and they probably effected me so subtley I didn't notice. I found more difficulty sleeping and also found I felt awful if I missed a dose (40mg). That might have been a placebo effect as the drug should stay in your system for at least a week. When I came off them I found that I was hit with waves of extreme fatigue/tiredness, I found it difficult to operate because my mind was so tired and confused. But it only lasts a week or too, and isn't really a huge problem if you come off them slowly in stages. I wouldn't recommend going on anti-depressants/SSRI's unless you really have to. I found they dulled my mind. I didn't notice it at the time, but since coming off them I have felt alot better, happier and interested in the world than when I was on them. But they did help me through a bad patch... and into a good patch. I think anti-depressants are alot less effective without some form of theraptic counsoulling/classes... and positive action by the person themselves. So smile & be happy & good luck :p |

Thanks for the insights Yaba... Not very positive response but I guess the effects may vary a lot from person to person. I am going to continue psychotherapy sessions while taking the pills, and my problem is not so much a depression. It's more of a social phobia kind of thing, which I'm slowly but surely overcoming now... |

Im seeing a psychatrist´soon, I hope he prescribes me some flashy drugs, like Xanax. Stuff that stops making me feel so akward and shy in social situations... ;) |

Yeah I was prescribed Citalopram about a year ago - Never got round to taking it though - I think my anxiety's gradually going since I quit weed and cigarettes and things... Has taken a long while and I've managed to get much more into my music in the mean time - For some reason splitting with my girlfriend seems to be helping!?! Joakimlinden: Yeah mine's mainly social - I'm not consiously nervous or worried or anything, I just get intense physical symptoms sometimes - Like a racing heartbeat - Sometimes shortness of breath - Only in some situations... Taking regular exercise seems to have helped a lot - Get less of the old symptoms - Don't notice the lightheadedness so much anymore, which is a big plus cos that used to make me feel 10x worse! |

It's odd cos when I used to smoke weed regularly I was the exact opposite - I used to NEED to put myself in really hectic social situations - Go out all the time etc... |
