    Heya Shazza :wave:

    Would you like to join the insomniacs group I'm thinking of starting? .lol.

    Did you come off of the meds cold turkey? I did once and I had that horrible headache similar to when I don't have my caffeine fix in the morning. It was horrible and I just felt sick and worn out.
    What meds have you come off of?

    It must be stressful having to swap and change the departments you're working in - just getting used to one and then having to change and getting used to another. Have you spoken to your boss about how this has an impact on your health?
    If I were your boss I would be accommodating for your needs and health issues, but I'm nice like that. :D

    Citalopram. Eurgh! I hate that stuff.lol. I was on it before and the withdrawal was hideous. I'm on it again now at 40mg a day and it's not doing anything. I hate the drug with a vengeance.lol.
    When I first came off of it, I got very confused too. I didn't know where I was most of the time and I found it so hard to concentrate on anything. I was like that for 2 weeks. Never again, It does get better but it's going through it that is so hard.

    I had a similar situation with Friends Reunited hun. Some people are best not in out lives because of all the hurt and turmoil they could leave. [[hugs]]

    Do you get on with the new bosses?
