I've been recently been diagnoised with severe depression, which my doctor recokons started nearly 5 years ago when I lost a family member at christmas, anyway in order to help me she suggested i take citalopram on a doze of 20mg, I hated them to the point where I didn't want to take them. They made my life unbareable and took an effect on my work- was even sent home as I couldnt handle it all.. my emotions were all over the place and was totally not myself. I carried on taking them and have side effects such as not sleeping at night, not eating and drinking very little, and lost half a stone in a matter of weeks. My other half thought it was best that I talk to my doctor about it, she suggested coming off them and try sertaline.. I felt better, but still not able to sleep, moved the times when i took them to the evening but still no joy- having to take kalms sleep tablets in order to help me sleep.
up until recently I have been fine, but have noticed recently whatever I seem to eat in the evenings (sometimes I dont eat til very late due to work) makes me rather ill to the point where I'm literally sick a handful of times. the other night I was so bad I didnt know what was going on... I had bad pains in my side/stomach and was going hot and cold.. ive also noticed I get rather alot of hot flushes! Im only 22!! the people i work with think im rather mad.
Does anyone else get this on sertaline? or is it just me??? I can't keep going on like this!
