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

I stopped at a Mexican pharmacy while on vacation and was shown a laminated paper that I assume is meant to advertise and list prices for drugs that Americans commonly want to purchase in Mexico. It was mostly C4s and below (or above in numbers rather). I didn’t recognize redotex and asked to see th
The following happened in europe. Today at 8:30 a young man came into the pharmacy and demanded a bottle of Diazepam drops from my coworker. She told him he needs a prescription for that and that she can't sell it without. He begins to talk louder and says he wants only 1 bottle and so on and so f
I used to love my job. As a pharmacist at an Albertsons store, I had it all. A manageable workload, great pay at $75 an hour, and the satisfaction of knowing I was making a difference in my community. I filled about 50 to 60 prescriptions a day, enough to keep me busy but not overwhelmed. Life was g
I know a patient who takes both Xanax and Diazepam together. Both were prescribed by the same doctor but one is taken at bedtime and the other as needed during the day. I have never seen that and was worried about the duplicate therapy but apparently they have been on both for months now. The other
In another sub, many people were arguing about the problems of getting hold of alcohol (as in drinking liquor) and some said that they would get withdrawal symptoms. One person who seems to have some knowledge of medicine really went overboard with the horror stories. I told him that in my country p
This must be a very trivial question but since English is not my first language I have to ask because for me the meaning is ambiguous. I have read this a couple of times now where it says in a formulation (e.g.:http://www.pharminfotech.co.nz/manual/Formulation/mixtures/diazepam.html) "Water to 100mL
Got a phone call today which basically went like this. Me: Such-and-such Pharmacy this is %67%, how can I help you? Junkie(?): My girlfriend got a prescription from you guys about twenty minutes ago and there was a problem with it. Me: Okay what was your girlfriend's name so I can look up her dispen
RN here. As I understand it, both are dissolved in propylene glycol. Why does our unit store lorazepam in the fridge but diazepam is in the pyxis? Thanks!
