    My suggestion is to seek natural alternatives to cure your symptoms. Those meds only for some people, but for us it only makes things worse. You don't want any permanent nervous damage.

    Bully me .

    Now i know that you may be pissed at the world and i get that .

    I also get that you don't beleive in drugs but

    If you keep posting shit about nerve damage and crap as such that you have no facts to back up i will remove them .

    And for your information i had a bad run on drugs which caused major problems but that is life .

    Cee .

    Talk with your doctor , from research i have been doing if you are getting to many side effects the does may be to high to start with .

    cheers kev

    It can take awhile for the drugs to take effect and also for your body to get used to them. Often they can make you feel worse before you feel better. When I started on citalopram it was just 10mg and this was gradually increased. I felt awful when I first started on them but was feeling so unwell and down due to my depression/anxiety anyway that I am unsure if my condition or the meds were making me feel so bad. Anyway, after a few weeks I really started to feel better and was then able to get out the house to see a psychologist. Stick with it for a few weeks and see how it goes.

My teeth are killing me tho due to constant jaw clenching plus I dont feel as depressed as I hav done for last few days! I hav already lowered the doze but I refuse to take any more I feel im doin more harm when on them an the constant negative thoughts im havin, still bloody terrifed to go out the door has anyone else experienced this?
