I've been taking Citalopram, at varying dosages, on and off for the past 6 years. After my first pregnancy, and because I was breastfeeding, I switched to Sertraline. For a while I also took propranolol for Anxiety. At present I am taking 20mg of Citalopram a day which has just been increased from 10mg.
I've just had a realisation that I have been depressed all of my adult life. Not deeply sad at all times but it's always been there, sometimes further beneath the surface than at other times. So now I'm questioning my medication. I'll obviously give the new dose a try and I won't go to the GP demanding everything needs to be changed but I feel as though Citalopram has just been getting me through the worst times and the dosage is constantly adjusted. Is there something that might be more than just papering over the cracks?
