Good luck Stars, you've taken the hardest step. Good luck let us know how it went
The first time is always the hardest but it does get easier. Good luck :)
Well I went. :) I got Citalopram. On the instructions though, it says it may affect driving..so may be wise to wait until after I'm back in Bristol before I start to take them (Sunday/Monday)?
I'd definitely advise that, so you can get used to taking them and see how they affect you before you have to drive again.
^ Yep, I looked at the instructions, there's like 101 side effects. :lol: He said take 10mg a day for the first week them 20mg from then on and see how it goes. I have to book a follow up in about 2 weeks.
On my German ones, it has all that, then it says at the bottom 'get well soon' :lol:
I know, I take citalopram too. I think the only side effects I've had are tiredness, lack of sex drive and melancholy. I found this last night which is more detailed than the leaflet in the box.
Can I ask, how did you go about it in your doctors appointment? I mean like how did you start off? Do you just say how youve been feeling or be more direct and say you think you may be depressed?
I said I was feeling sad and then the doctor asked more specific questions. I avoided saying I thought I was depressed, I didn't want him to think I'm one of those people who look symptoms up on the internet and think they've got some incurable disease.
