I have been on this for a couple of years, and when I took it initially I couldn't believe the difference it made to me. I hadn't realised I was an anxious person but these pills enabled me to take one day at a time.
I don't have kids, and I am now 37. This was something that I used to get very upset about and really hampered my life. Through counselling and learning what is good for me I feel I have got a better grip on my feelings. I have no doubt that Citalopram has helped me with this.
After getting over a few very stressful situations in my life, and handling them well I feel like I might be well placed to start to wean myself off this. I've heard all sorts of scary stories about people's experiences and what I want to know is, has anyone got any experience of coming off anti depressants successfully, and overall feeling less anxious etc. I worry because I hadn't realised I was 'ill' before, and I don't want to live the next few years of my life back how I was. I do feel my perspective has changed on life, and I hope that I can have this now without this drug. I am only on 10mg,
