depression

Welsh, make sure you think long and hard about drinking whilst on medication - usually you aren't suppose.
Not a medical opinion, just my experience - I drank (heavily) on citalopram, and it didn't react well.
If you can avoid drinking, you probably should.

Afternoon to all
I'm smiling like an idiot lol.

lol!

cheers Ethel, at the min though not sure if i can cope with work, Citalopram making me feel a little dizzy, and numb like a zombie, think i liked cryin all the time more!! hopefully will all come normal again soon

I find work actually helps a bit as it keeps my mind active and helps block out some of the negative thoughts and gives me some human contact.

Ethel I am going to see him at 5pm, an hour on the tube to middle of London, joy in peak hour! i will speak to him see what he says, couldnt get out of bed for hours today either, supposed to feel bad for the frist few days though i have been told

Deep joy.. I hate the tube at the best of times, lol

I must have been really lucky then cos I've never felt bad on them at all.. hopfully its just a few days then and will pass soon xx

I CAN totally relate to the not being able to get out of bed tho.. its awful.. dozing on and off and thinking I should be up doing this or that.. then you feel guilty n feel worse so you stay even longer... lol

CC do you drink alcohol at all? the way i am at the min i am too scared to drink any alcohol or caffine or anything as i dont want to feel like i am losin control or something!

I find it difficult drinking alcohol. If I have a good trip, it is fine, otherwise I can get aggressive.

Yes control is important to me too

I don't tend to get hangovers tho'.

Caffiene is OK for me, lifts my mood and gives me some energy. It helps keep me regular too:D

It is not advisable to drink whilst taking medication. It either hinders it or makes the alcohol much more potent.
