Depression Support Group

hey ruby, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with either med. I'm sure someone in the community is and will share their experience with you. Good luck.

Yes I take citalopram. I thought it was working at first, but I feel like it stopped about a month ago. (I've been taking it for 1 year). It did help with my appetite until recently, & I did see a change in my mood. As for sleeping I take trazodone.

I take citalopram. Don't know if it works yet.

Yep i used 2 be on them, i felt like a zombie on them was soooooo tired all the time, didn't have the energy 2 do anything. I was told they were side affects & they would pass, then 8 months lata down the line i was still the same, so i decided i had 2 do something as the doctor didn't seem 2 be, so i came off them & although im still depressed i don't feel monged out anymore.

Used to take them and temazepam... made me feel spaced out and weird so now I'm on no meds. Its fun. Its 7:10am and I haven't slept.

My doc has just put me on them but I am on a very low dose because I am very fearful of meds. I am on 10mg a day. Does anyone know what the standard dose/maximum dose its?

i take 50mg a day, but im on 3 other meds as well. with the combination of all the meds, things seem to be working. i still find things really hard but that's because im working through trauma. without the meds i think i would be dead

in response to candleint - ive been on up to 80mg. i started off on 5mg a day for the same reason as you and gradually increased the dose.

I started on 20mg a day

i had the same thing they didnt seem to work at all for me. my appetite seemed to return but i m not certain if that was the pills or the knoledge that people were watching me and my sleeping get a "little" better but i was also on sleeping meds. but my mood stayed low. and i was still constantly tired. i recently stopped taking them and so far nothings changed
