Hi, can anyone help with this. Feb 2017 I started fluoxetine, this was the first time I had taken an AD. It worked great, I was on 60mg, but around September that year it just seemed to stop working. I was moved to sertaline and ended up on a 150mg dose. I had really bad night sweats and diarrhoea however I would have stayed on them if I had of thought they were working.
The doctor has now changed to to citalopram. I weaned off the sertaline and took 10mg of citalopram for 2 weeks, then I took a week at 20mg. I am now starting my 2nd week at 20mg. At a few points last week I thought they were working but the past few days I'm not so sure.
I am so disappointed, I never wanted to take anti depressants but when I agreed to try the fluoxetine and it worked it was great. It was like I should have done it years ago, but it just seemed to stop working after 7 months.
Is there any chance the citralopram might still start working at this stage or should I change again to try and find something that worked like fluoxetine did?
Sorry this is long winded. I just want to find something that works again, it was such a relief when I started the fluoxetine.
