Citalapram

[postman44]

Has anyone taken citalapram tablets for anxiety.

[Sqad]

Many, many people postman, but I never have.

[pat2604]

Yes, I take it, but nothing seems to stop my anxiety!

[andy-hughes]

I have taken it daily for more than twenty-five years to balance the effects of Depression.

[Ken4155]

I took it for a short while. Had me climbing walls and turned my poo jet black!

[maggiebee]

I took it for some time but didn't seem to work. My GP put me on to Sertraline which seems to do the trick.

Maggie's and Ken's experience underline the important fact, that anti-depressants are different, and affect people in different ways.

What works for one may be the worst thing for another - a good GP will change ineffective medication and find a suitable one for each patient.

What colour was you poo jet before all this, Ken?

[Ken4155]

Sky blue pink with green dots, Doug:-)

[zylaphone]

I did after my stroke. Worked well me for me

[pat2604]

I have to be honest the only thing
That calms my extreme anxiety is diazapam which My GP let's me have when things get bad, and 28 last about 3 months. To be honest does it matter if I get addicted at age 75. I still take my citalapram regularly.

I took it for a while for reactive depression after a bereavement. The doctor told me it's one of their most widely prescribed drugs. I have a friend who took it for anxiety but it didn't really work so she was switched to Sertraline which worked much better.

that's what I tell my GP sometimes, pat: who cares if I come to depend on something like sleeping pills, it's not like I have thousands of nights left.

Why do you ask postman?
Did you want to know if they work or the side effects perhaps?
