Morning all,, Been on Citalopram for 2 weeks now and took 20 mg before bed last night.. Today I feel totally spaced out, keep on weeing every 10 min, and feeling quite weird, I’m in work and feel I’m just rumbling on talking, feel worried to continue to carry on taken tablets.. got to take them for another couple of weeks

Hi hun, pills don't work for everyone but sometimes worth giving them a try, but they can only take the edge off so you can work on doing something different. If we are not happy with our lives we are the only one's that can change, life is what it is and is not going to change with wishful thinking .

Ask your GP about counselling, positive support can give you lots of idea's to try. It is important to know what you want though, how else can you be different? If your very low tied and stuck, you know exercise good diet and socializing would help but just can't do it, write down small goals you want to achieve when the day starts, they can be very short, exercise for a minute, five minutes, just somewhere to start that's achievable, and when that little voice in your head says you can't, then create a louder voice that says really, is a minute going to kill me! Everything you do you can build on and it gets better. But never stop there, keep setting bigger and bigger goals of what you would really love in life and when you do make sure you work a little towards getting them so that you enjoy the journey not the destination.

If you need motivation try YouTube there are some amazing things on there to watch and listen to, the world is full of the nicest most caring people if you just take the time to look. Don't invest your time in hating life, you can end up being an expert at it if that's what you practice.

Take care and I hope you feel a little stronger each day xx

Usually take citalopram in the morning ???? Some people react plenty of side effects

That stuff made me feel like that too. Try BHRT instead. Then you can quit the pills cold turkey. I know this sounds nuts but it’s true. Balance your hormones and then you can show the pills the door.

Not what you're looking for?
