citalopram has helped my anxiety, but it has slowed me down a lot and made me put on lots of weight.
i stopped taking it on 21 august so its been nearly 20 days now (i did stopping gradually).
i felt lighter after i stopped taking it, but feeling depressed for a a while now and slowed down again and feeling spaced out.
i think it has different effects on different people.
i liked it helping my anxiety but depression wise it didnt help me. and weight gain is becoming an uncomfortable issue for me now, so i had to stop taking it.
i am thinking of waiting for a week, than if not getting better i will visit my gp.
when you have dc it is very difficult.
thanks for advices.
