There is a lot of success with medication as well as psychological input

Medication can help. Have you been too see your dr yet, don't try doing it on your own.

Yes always at doctors was on citalopram but side effects too much for me going next week to ask if there is anything else i can take

Well after my experience on citalopram i wasnt holding much hope! But after seeing my doctor yesterday he says im heading in the right direction now! I am starting to feel more with it day by day,but believe me the doctor will need to find what medication suits you! Im currently taking slow release venlafaxine in a morning and amitriptyline at night to help me keep calm to sleep! Xx
