I finally did it!

Finally I went to the doctor for help!

Last week I couldn't sleep my mind was on overdrive I was so angry. I looked up my doctors surgery to see in they had an email address or something I would have a rant to. So I came across an online consultant form where you fill out the problem and the doctor will get back to you in 24hours.. So I tried it, got a call the next day and they booked me an appointment..Great!

The comes the day and lucky I have a rotten cold so my brain is consumed with that to stress or panic about the appointment.. Walked in to find a young male doctor about the same age as me and felt completely stupid.

But as soon as he asked that question "what can I help you with today?" the flood gates opened and I just cried and babbled a load of god knows what at him.

So anyways after a long chat he says I have depression (knew this already but to have a Doctor say it helped in a strange way)

We discussed treatments and although I have been against medication for years I agreed to try the mildest thing he could offer. Citalopram 10mg.

Lets see how I get on :/

Any tips on taking it Alan? My husbands busy at work and won't be around for a few days so I am a bit scared to start them right now

I found them a lifesaver at the time I was in a right depressed state I used to take it in the morning and never got any side effects as such but my low mood lifted and I remember my breathing was much easier after a couple of days and I got a lot better and was functioning ok definitely get them down you don’t read the side effects labels just think of it as your happy pill ,take with your breakfast
