Buttercup, i thought it was like 1 in a 1000, but Stevie above said it was more like 1 in 100 million,

(hell i get a lotto ticket with better odds than that)

but what they should do is tell you (the patient) of the risks and if you are willing to take them, even signe a waver you should be allowed to keep on with the 60mg

Going to your GP and questioning your meds is hard enough then for them to say "the choice is yours" or "what would you like to do?" - seriously?! Its difficult deciding if i want to make the appt and get out of bed! if i knew what I wanted to do id of proposed it surely?

Iv taken citralopram for 2+ years minus the break since Oct last year and find within a couple of days at 40mg im sleeping better and more focused. Given the short half life if i miss a tab its often a stiff headache and bout of irrationality but level again after taking tab.

Im in for a review in a couple of days and think its likely ill be back on the meds as im not in a good place atm but im worried ill develop resistance to them as i did with Sertraline. is this likely?
