I graduated a year ago and have applied for constant entry level positions and wake up everyday to new rejection emails. I have no savings. I’ve never had a boyfriend. The only constant companion I’ve had in my life is depression and my citalopram pills. My friends are successful and happy and I lay
I have been taking Citalopram for more than 4 years.
Hi guys, I've been taking Celexa 10mg for nearly a year now and just wanted to share my experience here. I was reading posts on this subreddit religiously before telling my doctor I wanted to try meds, so I thought this could be helpful to anyone in the position I was in then. My symptoms before sta
I posted on here a while back (http://www.reddit.com/r/depression/comments/1jyokh/what_does_it_feel_like_trigger_warning/) about how I felt on a regular basis. That was when I still kept my feelings a secret from almost everyone, including my family. Since then I've spoken with them and started taki
This has been a huge step for me. For at least 2, maybe 3 months, I've allowed my sink to pile up and only cleaned utensils the very moment I needed them. Today I suddenly had the urge to go clean all of it up and wipe down my tabletops. It's incredible. I'm only 2 weeks in but citalopram is letting
some days ago I cut my veins, I’m here cause that didn’t work, Now I have an horrible scar, I’m tired of trying, actually I’m medicated with duloxetina citalopram n risperidona (it’s like we write them in my country) but they aren’t working, my first try was when I was a kid 3-4 it’s strange that a
Doctor thought maybe I was over medicated and discontinued my mood drugs. Just got off citalopram completely. Will start going off wellbutrin next week. I feel wayyyyy better. Not even any suicidal thoughts in the past week. . Who would thought it was the antidepressants causing the depression. Inst
Hey guys, I’m trying to create a public subreddit dedicated to citalopram, and for that I need karma. Please consider helping me by upvoting this post and my post at r/freekarma4u . I know this might be far-fetched, but all I want to do is help people by creating a dedicated place to post their ques

Hi everyone, Hope you’re doing okay, or better. This week it’s been 4 years since my first manic episode. Since then, I haven’t relapsed. I’ll try to keep this short, but it will probably be a bit longer since I want to write everything that I would have wanted to read 4 years ago. **Here we go:** M
I’m a 33 year old female and have been diagnosed for 5 years now. I spent countless days, even years, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I would be on google nearly every day asking questions and just thought I had bad anxiety along with my PTSD and ADHD. My head has been off since I was a
“I’m bipolar.” “I’m bipolar type 1” “I have bipolar disorder.” “I have bipolar disorder type 1.” “I have bipolar illness.” All those statements were attempts to describe myself after my diagnosis, Bipolar illness, at the ripe age of 25. The following years were defined by this list (this is not an
I just wanted somewhere to celebrate how good I'm FINALLY doing. I've been in and out of the hospital for three years now for reckless behaviour and all of the mania, and I knew that you guys would appreciate this. After 6 months of not being employed because my doctor said I just couldn't work, I'v
I hope you can understand me, since English is not my first language. So a few days ago I restarted my medication after like years of The Misery™, you know folks, being in a shitty state all day, drinking heavily and doing clonazepam to get away from the pain, losing all interest in things I used to
For context, I’m bipolar one, and had a gnarly manic and psychotic episode when I was 19 which got me hospitalized for two weeks. That’s when I got my diagnosis, and I’m now 23. I’ve now been through boatloads of therapy, have a very comfy and stable home situation, a therapist and psychiatrist I tr
I have tried Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Fluoxetine… I’m fucking done with the side effects, I gained so much weight was hungry all the time and no desire on anything like numb/zombie all the time. I’m now on 350 Venlafaxine and just quit Olanzapine and was prescribed Clonazepam 2mg and Ambien 10mg, whi
