Hello
I've been taking Citalopram since June for severe depression. I was feeling a lot better and starting to get a lot of things in order, but the medication made me very sleepy and I couldn't stop yawning.
This was causing me problems at work, so my GP changed my medication at the end of August to Fluoxetine (prozac). Since then I am increasingly feeling depressed, anxious and panicky.
I saw my GP last week and she advised me to give the prozac more time before changing again. However, over the weekend I've been feeling pretty grim and I've struggled to get out of bed today. Everything feels very bleak and hopeless and I feel worse now than before I started the original medication back in June. It's worse because I was feeling so much better (tiredness and yawning aside).
Should I ask to go back on Citalopram? Or should I ask to switch again - GP didn't say what the third option was?
Thanks
