Anyone have experience of Citalopram?

[SarahB]

As I said yesterday i feel my treatment is at a dead end - the cognitive behaviour therapy isn't really working and I've been on Prozac for years.


So this morning I went to see the GP and she has changed me from Prozac to Citalopram - does anyone have any experience of this drug?

Of course the problem with changing my pills is I worry that the new ones will make me feel sick!!...... Catch 22...........


I've been looking it up on a parenting forum and a lot of the people there said when they first took it they felt sick to begin with. Even though my GP said that Nausea wasn't listed as a potential side effect. I also looked it up on NetDoctor and DO list nausea as a side effect?

Fretting now, do I change tablets or not?

I am on citalopram for depression, its a great drug, ive been on it before. Ive never had any side affects at all from these tablets!! So try not to worry, they list nausea and v* on most tablets of any kind just so they cant be sued if someone v* while they are taking them, most of the time is a precaution. If you are at a dead end with the prozac then i recommend starting the citalopram. I find its great with dealing with depression and it help anxiety too.


Good luck xxx
