Hi
THIS IS NORMAL! For you at least, we all react in our own ways to medication for our mental health.
I was on Citalopram for about 18 months as it took a good 6 months to do it's job for me, as with most SSRI's, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, it also depends on WHY you are using it. I was on it for severe anxiety and eventually took 40mg daily, working up from a starting point of 10mg.
It's also used for extreme depression too, again starting off on a small dose, increasing to a level that works for you. Alcoholics are sometimes prescribed it, as it can suppress the desire to drink, but given alcohol is a depressant in the first place, I'd avoid alcohol at all costs if you can.
I found that I went off sex completely but once my body had gotten used to the drug, I was fine, things settled down, and some elements of a normal (whatever that is) came back.
Don't worry about the housework, your husband or the children, you're putting too much pressure on yourself.
Instead, you could maybe make a list of all the things you want to do around the house, with the children, your husband and for YOU!
If you're anything like I was, I didn't take care of myself so showered less as it was too much of an effort, dressing? Not unless I had too!
Do the list and pick anything from it for today. Once you've done it, cross it out! Then the next and the next and then add to it as and when.
Some days I didn't get out of bed, never answered the door, my phone etc, they'd leave a message if it was important and then I'd deal with it.....
Do you feel like talking? You can self refer for help these days, in fact mental health groups prefer you to self refer.
Has that helped at all? You're not alone, but if you can, find some human support and just let it out. Whatever your "it" may be.
