Woke up feeling shitty after a restless night.
Jaw hurts so bad due to teeth grinding and tensness.
Head killing me.
Dragged myself dowstairs to find two cards on the doorstep.
One from anon Thread here
One from the amazing OJ and family.
Big grin, cant take it off face this day has started how i mean to go on.
People are amazing and i need to remember that.
Filled with love. x

How lovely xxxx

oh babe dont even worry about the side effects they will dissapear in a couple of days x

I started citalopram at the end of september/beginning october, doc put me on 20mg....my side effects were horrid

dizziness
nausea
headache
grinding of teeth and jaw
sweating
insomina

it stopped after a week or so, but the tablets are not an overnight cure...
i am now on 40mg have been for about 6 weeks and do feel better, didnt have any side effects when the dosage was upped and was surprised

Crikey - I'm a hard core Druggie then , I've been on Citalopram or Cipralex (now on Cipralex - much better) for 4 years! Although It's not for depression, it's for anxiety/panic attacks.

Good luck to all of you, keep taking them, the initial side effects won't last.

My friend sas has just come onto mumsnet so if youd like to say hello her thread is here

Hope not my jaw is aching!
