Thanks Bump, fingers crossed. I have been on and off citalopram for years and beta blockers for the anxiety . I’m not taking anything right now. I think I’m used to the depression, but struggle every day with anxiety. I’m really scared as I think my personality is changing.
I don’t know if you have used antidepressants before, if not be prepared to be more tired than usual for the first few days. I think the effect they have is that at last some of the pent up stress and overload of adrenaline actually has a chance to leave your body. They really helped me and I would take them again.
I’m a mess too. I’m at home with my phone off and am having a night cap. There is no chance of me being relaxed enough to watch a film or even contemplate reading a book.
This group is a godsend.
I am here for you if you ever want to talk or ask any questions. I know I am new to the forum, but hand on heart , I don’t know what I would have done last month if I hadn’t found all of you ladies on this post.
