Awesome video! My GF is suffering from depression and anxiety and starting medication and therapy. I want to be there for support and do my research. Your videos are very helpful and I taking in a lot from them ❤️
Hey, I’m so sorry for my slow reply! Thankyou so so much for your lovely comment. How wonderful of you to be researching and helping your girlfriend out - it can be really confusing to be the partner of someone who lives with mental health issues, you’re a warrior like the rest of us ☺️
@@speakyourmindm.h5794 Thanks so much for the kind response. Unfortunately, things did not work out and I knew I had to let go because I felt being with her would not help her. Especially with the long distance and her family not thinking it was a good idea for me to stay with her. I do wish her the best and I know she will get through this. It open my eyes as well on anxiety and depression and to be more compassionate to people going through it. You are amazing as well for all the help and support you doing to help people understand as well as being strong about it. You and so much like you are the true warriors and I have so much respect for that. Thank you again for your response 🤗❤️
l was taking citalopram for years when a serious illness forced me to think about why .I came to conclude that I was only taking them to to alter my personality to please other people . I am now me and people can either like it or lump it. That was my road to Damascus .
Thanks for sharing. I’m starting Cymbalta which is how found you and your Vlog. I’ve been on many others that have not worked. I did try Lexapro which is the newer form of Citilapram but it wasn’t doing anything for me but I did love that it gave me no harsh side effects and I was able to come off it pretty easily compared to other antidepressants I’ve tried. Ive also been on Mirtazapine for 10 + years but it has ‘pooped’ out which can happen if you are on an antidepressant for a long period of time. So that’s why I’m adding a new one on and hoping this combo works for me. 🤞🏻 Good luck with your journey. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out for you.
Wine ChiQ thank you for your comment! Have you started yet? I hope it goes as well for you as it has for me, it’s really helped me turn my life around these last 6 months. I have energy and motivation to focus on other ways I can help my mental health, which I’ve never had before! Keep us updated! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hi! I started my first dose of Citalopram yesterday and I found your vlog while doing research. I appreciate the time you took to share your experience. It has been helpful!
Ciltopram runied my life, weight gain drowsiness eat constantly etc.... Bad allergic reaction itching all the time. Came off it. Headaches nausea. I hate all Antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Since coming off all antidepressants and mood stabilizers lose 4 stones. Bad poison drug, evil medication!!!! Keep it up. Good video. Tasha xxxx.
Natasha Day oh my god I’m so sorry to hear this :( I completely understand it’s so different for every single person, and I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go well for you! Also thank you for taking the time to comment, it’s important for people researching these drugs to hear all sides of people’s experiences!!
Does anyone else get a cold numbing sensation in their entire body kinda like ur cold, and no matter how many layers u wear u are still cold? And u also don't sweat?
I started Citalopram 5 days ago the first 3 days were good but these last 2 days have been horrible. Im not sure if it’ll get better ? But I have seen that it gets worse before it gets better , still have a bit of hope
Hi , everything has been better , the first two weeks were definitely the hardest . I feel a lot more calm , my overthinking and my negative thoughts have almost stopped. I hardly get panic attacks now and when I do end up having one it’s way easier to calm myself down and bring myself back to reality. I honestly sometimes go on about my day without any thought of anxiety or any symptoms of it and it’s only when I remember about it that I realized how I’m going back to my normal self . I’m not going to say I’m 100% free of anxiety because no one is but it is easier to go on about my day. I’m no longer in fear or feeling sad and hopeless all the time , I started looking forward to many things again , thinking about the future with positivity and happiness . It feels good to know that things can and will get better. It’s a hard journey but it’s possible!! I hope you are doing well if you have any questions with anything regarding the medication let me know !!!!
Hello. I’ve been prescribed 10 mg citalopram recently.. but I’m worried about taking them cos the shed effects look terrifying . Any tips or advice would be great. Thank you 😊🙏
I was on 60mg citalopram .It ruined my life drowsy all the time.hungry constantly.weight gained .I felt like a zombie on citalopram.I now take Amisulpride and Queatiapine .Lost 4 stones off citalopram .I would never take citalopram again. Bad side effects.
Are you still on it? How are you feeling? I'm on day 5, had a really bad headache and low appetite 1st 4 days, also quite sleepy. Depression is better already, don't constatly feel like crying. But no effect on anxiety yet, I'll see in 3 weeks I guess.
Been on citalopram for 14 day's now and the first week was horrible with the side effects but i don't get no side effects now. But can't really see any changes now but the doctor sead it can take up to 4 to 8 weeks to work so looking forward to see the good results of the medication now.
I felt even worse going on it again after 10 months coming off it, really really bad for 10 days, you have to be in such a good place to come off this and I mean your life has to be in a really really good place.
Silimus heya!! I’ve now been on Citalopram for over 2 years, and it’s brilliant, the only thing is the weight gain, but that’s a small price to pay for how well it works! Good luck to you ☺️
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I can’t really help with that question though I’m afraid! I’m sorry to hear you’re going through a hard time at the moment, and hopefully things will start looking up soon for you. Definitely seek professional help, wether it’s your doctor or a therapist, and let us know how you get on xx
I’ve been on this for a few months 10mg first now 20mg for this will be 3 weeks and I feel terrible so itchy the tiredness is so bad really down days and I have a 10 month old everyday tasks are so hard not sure if it’s working can u help with advice xxx

Hey RavaRiley! Thanks for your comment, I'm so sorry to hear that you had some annoying side effects with citalopram! I totally understand every medication is different for each person. How are you getting on now - did you try something else?
Currently on sertraline. No change really ( only 6 day on this med ) but no bad side effects thankfully. Face feels permanently warm and uncomfortable which in its self makes me anxious 👍👍
I just got diagnosed with depression and was put on it. Mines 30mg and I’ve never been on an anti depressant before. Is that too much for someone to start off at?

Very high dose should take the lowest dose
I never heard of them prescribing 60mg , 40mg is the highest I know. That sounds extreme
Do you take them in the morning or at night? I'm wondering cuz of the drowsiness. Thanks!
I take them just before I go to bed! But I actually don’t find I get drowsy on these meds!
Im starting to take them and im so terrified, its my 2nd day
How are feeling now ? Hope u doing better
