My journey with Citalopram - so far so good!

Hi all, in Vlog 17 I talk about my experience with the anti-anxiety and anti depressant medication 'Citalopram'. This is my first ever positive review of a medication woo! I've been on Citalopram for 7 months now and am loving it. It doesn't make me feel too tired, zombie like, numb etc, it definitely lessens my anxiety and depression, and I didn't have any severe side effects in the first few ...

Talking to family and friends about mental health
just came across your channel yesterday and it's helped me a lot thru a very tough time with anxiety & failed medication attempts, thank you so much. i hope you're doing well today & hope to see you post again soon!! ♡
Beautiful
My cousin was on this and the withdrawal from them made him have seizures
I was prescribed duloxetine for osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I wasn’t depressed or suffering from anxiety. I wasn’t sleeping because of the fibromyalgia pain. I started at 20 mg which helped but the arthritis in my hands wasn’t any better after 30 days so was increased to 30 mg. I’ve been on that for 60 days and it’s working better. I think it’s like all pharmaceuticals. They affect different people differently. Three of my family members take Gabapentin. I can’t take it for pain. It makes me feel hungover.
Duloxetine it's more dangerous than MDMA, and their handing it out like Smarties!
I have been on 40 milligrams for the last seven years and for some reason have not cried seven years?? I’m I the only one?
That Room is mess.
Your snobby comment is unrelated and unnecessary.
funny how mental illness works huh? have some compassion and empathy.
I was on duloxetine for 4 months for neuropathic pain. It didnt work. Now ive been tapering for 2 months, worst experience ever. Brain zaps, nausea, diahrea. Doctor never advised me of how to taper, i tried to quit to fast and was a disaster. My locum doctor gave me a schedule for tapering , 1 day off for a few weeks then 2 days off 1 day on. After 2nd day i get brain zaps ,nausea, diahrea. Worst dgug ivef ever taken.
Its purposely dezigned to keep you addicted. No syrups no tablets you cannot taper. We should all sue the drug company like oxycontin. Brad counting. They are so tiny.
Thank you for sharing it's what I'm going through now myself I'm not at the point of counting the beads put the brain zaps just by missing a day or two again thank you for your time in God's name amen
Hi! I started my first dose of Citalopram yesterday and I found your vlog while doing research. I appreciate the time you took to share your experience. It has been helpful!
I was just prescribed this drug and pick it up tomorrow. However, I have already decided I will not be taking it and will tell the pharmacist to re-shelve it. Your video is one of MANY that convinced me not to take Cymbalta. My doctor told me nothing about side effects or the risks of getting off it. I am seriously pissed about this and no longer trust this doctor at all.
When you first start taking any antidepressant for the first two weeks, you experience the side effects first and then after two weeks they go away then slowly a couple more weeks you start to feel the therapeutic effects. It takes a week or two to get over the side effects that hit first…. but your body does adjust and they do go away. It is also very important to start off on a low dose and then slowly increase …after the side effects go away and you will experience side effects again with the slight increases - but not as bad and for not as long. more of something is not necessarily better. 100 mg of Cymbalta is not therapeutic. studies have shown anything over 60 mg of Cymbalta doesn’t affect any more than 60mg. That is the threshold. studies have shown that all you’re gonna get is more side effects. One should start with 20 or 30 and be on that for a couple weeks before you even consider increasing …because it takes a while before the therapeutic effects even take place Must give it time. That goes for any SSRI or SNRI
First couple of weeks are Horrendous.
How are you today?
dr just prescribed it for my scoliosis and osteonecrosis of my hip (had my left hip replaced last year, need the right done next) and duloxetine is ACTUALLY helping my chronic pain way more than i thought it would. it started working just a few hours after the first dose. this is only day 3 but i am really enjoying the pain reduction.
Doctors know about the side effects, you have to weigh the benefits vs the side effects before taking a medication.
My temper is awful getting off it. Hyper. In the morning and at night I want to punch the wall. I then remind myself this is not me!!! Yes I didn't research. I research everything and I didn't. Yes 2 years ago. I know with Paxil when I felt more terrible I would take a small sliver of the solid pill then little by little I made it. This is totally different. I am going by levels in the capsule. Meaning after a week I try to go lower. I dump more out little by little. But do not go cold turkey. You can have a serotonin syndrome that can kill you. Listen to this guy. th-cam.com/video/RnY4NGWyF4w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X0Z2l1HKn2muCfhB
I need it for bladder problems trust me my bladder is burning it's horrible I need it
If your brain doesn't need then you only get side effects. That doesn't mean it does not work for others.
Hello
Just be ready the aggression and fog will be back . Because meds are there to cover problems you don’t want to deal with. If you don’t find a root of the problem - you gonna need it again. Good video- all true Thank you !!! You will see the difference in few months. Let us now
Well honey you don’t just go cold turkey , it’s so dangerous. Yap when I was getting off it was bad bad bad and I did it slowly. But the actual medication works . Got to do your research. I am off since may, feel like I should go back. But thinking really hard just because of withdrawal. But it’s like getting of heroin . Takes good 3 weeks not one week
Are you still on meds?
Fuck I just got my 30mg capsules I was gonna start them Monday but I change my mind after watching this fuck that doesn’t seem worth it
The doctor doesn't tell you but this stuff rocks your world when you first start taking it. Worsened anxiety, restlessness, nausea etc. But eventually it goes away and you feel better. Hang in there.
Young lady not withstanding infirmities, I so admire how fearless you are.
Chronic pain and mood disorders here. Also, an actor. Have been prescribed Cymbalta. Have not started. I'm scared. But I will say, for every one of these videos detailing the EVILS of Cymbalta, there is one details its VIRTUES. I know people personally who have done well with it. These drugs are powerful obviously. This video was posted 6 years ago. I think that these days most people do their research and its more in the mainstream that you just can't stop these medications without adverse reactions... I'm not convinced of either way... Obviously I'd rather be okay WITHOUT meds... but...
Thankyou .
I'm watching 2023
I've been on Duloxetine 60mg for many years and I feel what I think as normal, I have no plans of coming off it. How are you feeling 5 years later?
I suffer from Fibro and Depression. Duloxetine did help with my symptoms but I’ve gained 50lbs and the brain fog is horrible!! Whenever I try to talk to the doctors in my town they gaslight me and say it’s all in my head!! Hoping and praying to find a better med that suits me better😕😕.
Gained 45 lbs… makes me miserable!!!!!
I sleep very well with paroxetine calm no night good dream so far
I was given this for pain (20mg)..8 hours after 1st pill I got nausea and threw up..I slept good for 2 days..the 3rd day I could not sleep..headaches would come..nausea..constipation..huge anxiety..high sugar..high blood pressure..I lost weight because of the nausea..so I decided to get off of it..I regret it very much
Thank you for helping me decide NOT to take this. My doctor prescribed this for me. I never took the first pill and won't.
I’m sorry off topic but your cute 😅
Been on citalopram for 14 day's now and the first week was horrible with the side effects but i don't get no side effects now. But can't really see any changes now but the doctor sead it can take up to 4 to 8 weeks to work so looking forward to see the good results of the medication now.
I felt even worse going on it again after 10 months coming off it, really really bad for 10 days, you have to be in such a good place to come off this and I mean your life has to be in a really really good place.
Is vaping whilst on citalopram bad?
that doctor made an error with letting you start with 20 instead of 10 mg, I take it since 2 years and am free of panik attacks I am so sorry for what happened to you the dosis was to high to start with
I struggle with depression and insmonia could citalpram help with this ?? Thanks George
This morning at 10 a.m. I took my first 20 MG of paroxetine. My body is very sensitive to medication. I did notice that I didn't have many negative thoughts and was able to focus pretty well. Late into the evening I started to feel so many side effects. I'm not paranoid but I felt 90% of the side effects. It's beem 14 hours since I've taken it. Right now it feelsl similar to the feeling of ecstacy after the crash. It's a little pass 1 a.m. and I'm having a hard time trying to sleep. Atm I do have a cold, which makes me wonder if it has a negative impact on the medication. I might keep trying it unless the next few days the side effects are too much. I'm gonna try to tough it out. This video is almost a perfect match to how I feel.
Can anybody help me I have been taking ssri since 6 weeks Proxtine 20mg HCl still I am same I don't feel anything I am very depressed.
How are you doing now did paxil works for you please answer?
Cymbalta has changed my life. A year of the WORST anxiety and panic. I've never had any of that in my life. The heart palpitations were the worst part. Or not being able to go into a store, or just sleeping for a week. I lost my girlfriend, lost my high paying job. The Clonazepam wasn't working, the magnesium wasn't working. Finally I begged my new Dr to help me. That I couldn't take it anymore. Started cymbalta, 20mg for 2 weeks, then 60mg. I've been on 60mg now for a month. It's like I woke up one day and all the anxiety and heart palpitations were gone. So far 10 days now not a single symptom of anxiety. I feel alive again, and like myself. I'll take it forever if it means not ever feeling like I did for a year.
I'm having the same experience!
I’m so happy for you both! ❤❤❤
I'm on cymbalta for the last 15 years and it saved my life while many others I tried before that didn't. No side effects, no nothing. Only a quality of life, thank God.
Guess what?? I too have been saved!!! I’m tolerating it pretty well and my former self was just merely existing. It’s so sad to compare the majority of my life to now. 🤗
Dr put me on Cymbalta for post stroke pain. I had PAIN & STIFFNESS. Cymbalta helped with the pain (not stiffness). No side affects. I wanted to get off of it, because I was hearing bad stories. Cut from 60 to 30. No withdrawal symptoms. Only thing is is my pain came back with a VENGEANCE 😢 Upped it again. Hopefully I can find something for the STIFFNESS. I have tried about 6 different muscle relaxers, nothing has worked **sigh**
Hi thank you so much for your video. Did you put the beads back into the capsules? Thanks
An important reminder for anyone starting an antidepressant is to take the medication as prescribed. Unless I’m misunderstanding, your symptoms were a result of missing doses and not tapering off the medication correctly. I empathize with your struggle of course. Maybe more awareness is needed as to how important it is to be consistent when taking antidepressants because even missing just one dose can result in some of the symptoms you described in this video.
Cymbalta😀
I have been on in for a week, I do not want to take it anymore. weird feelings...too many things to list about side effects and I get Vivitrol injections.
I'm on my second day & I feel like hell. I wish I had never started taking them.
Can you talk more about your chronic pain and where it was located I’ve had chronic muscle pain for 4 years and I get a flare ups every now and then
I was in the ward for my depression when the institution’s psychiatrist put me on Cymbalta. She asked if it was something I was interested in and of course it was because I just wanted to get better. I physically could not do my own research (no access to internet) so I trusted her word. The moment I would miss a dose (after my discharge) I would also get poor vision, migraines, terrible concentration, hot flashes, panic attacks, it was BAD. My mom ended up telling me I was going through withdrawal and it made so much sense. Cymbalta withdrawals are no joke. Idk how I’m supposed to come off this drug or if I even should tbh
