Citalopram (Celexa) video:
• Experience with Citalo...
When I started anti-depressants it was so hard to find any personal experiences - hopefully this can help in some way
The sooner we start talking more freely about mental illness the better!

Exactly, Sertraline is an anxious urge to get up and do things but not happiness
Hope you're doing well! It really helps to see that others are going through similar things to me and that I'm not alone. Thanks for making this 🙏🏼
Have you tried seeing an endocrinologist to have your hormones tested?? Because the other things that can effect your mind negatively is hormones and also gut health. Gut health is major. If my stomach is bad I can get into seriously bad mental health days. But also, antidepressants did not work on me. At all. I never felt better on them. Which made me think it wasn’t a brain problem. And I was correct. My hormone levels were all over the place. And apparently it’s not uncommon either for females and males.
That is why these doctors needs to rule out all other possibilities before prescribing these medications. We need to advocate for this. Not to get me mistaken for I know depression is real, anxiety is real, mental health is real. However, psychiatrist and GP need to rule out other issues that can mimic mental health.
I am a 67 years old woman and I have panic attacks I am on sertraline 50 mg every day
Thankyou so much for making these videos and talking about mental health so openly ❤️
I am going to be back on pills again after 20 years. Scared but I know it's right. TY for being a blessing today. I just needed to know I didn't fail.
I’ve been on them for 8 years. The withdrawal symptoms when they stop working is scary. It’s causing a whole bunch of issues with my Stomach, Neurological issues, cold sweats, flu like symptoms, Akathisia, migraines, sinuses, etc. It’s terrible. I’m tapering off now. No one should go through this type of pain or hell.
Do you think trying a different medication or upping your dosage helps?
We live in a Hociety I’ve been on the highest dosage already. The best thing I can do is wean off right now and get my life back to normal with nutrition and exercise. CBD Oil helps a bit too.
Wow I’m so sorry you’re going through that!
@@PrettiestGemini all think all SSRI is toxic, I started yesterday and contemplating stopping
@@bigmaneastside do u regret starting in the first place???? I mean SSRI is basically toxic to the body right
Omygosh how I wish I knew you in person,I would just wana give you a big hug. You are so young and full of life, I pray all your dreams and desires will come true. God bless you ❤️❤️

Everyone feels blue now and again. We all have bad days, suffer disappointment, loss and sometimes deep dispair. These painful experiences are part of life. But prolonged periods of depression marked by anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, and hepelessness are symptoms of a more serious problem known as “depression”.
Depression is a medical condition leading to persistent feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, thoughts of death and suicide and an inability to feel pleasure or take interest in life. Some depressed people are physically depressed as well - constantly tired and sometimes insomniac or lacking in appetite. visit here for order *www.buyviagra200mgonline.com/product/sertraline-100mg/*
@@mentalhealthheadache how are you doing now ? Do you still take meds ?
I have been month on Zoloft now for one month the ups and down are so bad makes it so hard to work! I don’t know how much more I can take this. I don’t want to get up or leave the house. I feel like I’m in a dark spot a lot. Feels like I don’t care also have no feelings. My head is heavy just so depressed. This SUCKS!
Maybe its not the right antidepressant. There is others you can try, endep?
Hey, are you still on? I started yesterday and simply, actually, going to the doctor made me feel alot better.
Stop before it’s too late
I’ve been gong through depression and anxiety for years and now I’m gonna get medication hopefully it works for me . I don’t know if I should get a therapist to
Therapy helps! At first it feels scary but then u become comfortable and it helps a LOT !
Do you think you’ll ever come off antidepressants? I personally don’t want to rely on antidepressants for the rest of my life but I feel like I can’t do anything else to make myself feel better
I was 20 years on antidepressant (Venlafaxine) and came off within 5 weeks. 5 months later my depression came back. I suffer from major depression so I will have to take medication all my life. I'm very very grateful to have these medication.
Thank you so much for sharing. Off topic and I know this isn’t what your channel is about but I would love to see a makeup video, you’re stunning.
Thanks for posting. Encouraged by this. Starting this medication tomorrow. Preciate it:)
Thank you! You're welcome i hope it gives some insight. It can be tough but push through and see how you react with the meds
@@mentalhealthheadache
Thanks Talitha! My 3rd day on it at 25mg. I feel the subtle yet noticeable differences in mental focus, energy, and less emotional melancholy. Im going to persevere through it and continue to take them.
I'm on sertraline and can't get out of bed been 10 days 50 mg. I can't even shower.
Is it because you feel dizzy or weak???? Zoloft did the same to me the first few weeks, i felt awful they made me feel sick but I’m still taking it hopefully it goes away
call ur doctor
Thankyou for making this, has been so helpful for me
Thanks for the video. It was really helpful, you’re exceptionally brave for putting it on line. Respect and thank you 😊
My Citalopram was knocking me out so badly for uni I changed to Sertraline finding it hard to concentrate but Citalopram just knocked me out so badly

I miss your videos 🥺 I hope you’re doing well lovely ❤️
hopefully one soon dont worry! bless you thank you i hope you are too x
@@mentalhealthheadache Sooner or later anti-depressants have major side effects. It is quite easy to stop AD if you are determined. Get rid of the root cause-why are you taking AD? Mind is going crazy. I transformed my life some years back. After 10 days of doing the simple meditation which I have explained below take pills on alternate days, then once in 3 or 4 days, once a week and after 20 days of daily meditation stop medication as the neurons in the brain gets re-programmed but for SOS keep the medicine with you and take it only when necessary. Continue daily meditation as follows---Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-stress sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your incoming--outgoing breath, body sensations, any soft buzzing sound in the head for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Plenty of thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax with no desire for pills. Morning and night before sleep are good time to meditate. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
You shouldn't have to take Sertraline when our society refuses to talk about death, trauma, loss, suicide, grief, pain, suffering openly. There is nothing wrong with you or me. Our pain and suffering guide us and hold great gifts.
You are beautiful and brave hope your well I know how you feel 🤗🤗😍
Eileen Kallergis thank you!
Hey, I find your videos so helpful! I’ve really been struggling with anxiety and depression myself. I was prescribed venlafaxine myself, and I have some questions about your experience on it. Is there any way to talk about it?
It nervous now I keep fixing your hair when it's already fixed.
Stay strong my friend :D
Thankyou for this video 🧡
They prescribed me Prozac, have u tried it? And if u have do u prefer Zoloft and prozac?
Can you do your routine for your teeth omg
Good morning
I just started talking zoloft

How do you feel now 2 months later?
I feel better
I’m scared or the side effects 😭
shawty humax dont be scared of them - they wont last forever! just keep your eye on the end goal
be scared of the withdrawals
edit: I don't mean for this to deter anyone, just a word of warning, please discuss your options with your doctor, everyone is different and everyone has their own experience, mine included withdrawals. xxx take care
@@elijah8849 your experience pls
@@elijah8849 hows the withdrawals
@@jcbanbury I was on it for five months at 50mg and stopped cold turkey at the advice of my Doctor. Shakes & tremors, nightmares and night terrors, extreme anxiety attacks, insomnia, weight loss, brain zaps, headaches and migraines, chronic fatigue, flu-like symptoms and mood swings. Most of the side effects have gone now after roughly 14 days, but sometimes I get waves of symptoms. I'm taking multivitamins, Berocca (Vit B), cod liver and vitamin D 1000iu. Eating healthy and exercising a lot, though if I exercise too much I seem to get anxiety attacks. One anxiety attack was so bad I had to call an ambulance because I thought I was dying.
❤️
This dosage is too high... you need something else.. a thyroid test with antibodies and hormone test is crucial. Cbd oil in low doses and Xanax in low doses( they cannot be taken together) with a new antidepressant might help.
This advice is just advice. I’m a nurse with psych background- not a psychiatrist. But this comes from my knowledge as well as things I have taken my anxiety gets so high I cannot go out alone at times.
i check in regularly with my doctor and am now actually on 200mg, it seems to be working well. each person is different and everyone reacts differently to each med & each dose
Did you have concentration problems and dizziness when you we're feeling low and anxious before starting your medication? X
Kadiee Lewis definitely - sometimes it felt like I was in a dream. my memory was really bad too x
@@mentalhealthheadache thank you so much, at least I know I'm not the only one. Some days I feel like I'm going crazy! Love your videos, I wish I could talk so openly about my mental health. X
Why did you come of citalopram? Which ssri do you think is better ? I’m having to switch of ecitalopram so am wondering what one to take x
J S it just wasnt working for me anymore so they switched me over to sertraline to try that. Each one works differently with each person & unfortunately we dont know which ones until we try them! just make sure to stay in touch with your doctor x
There is no better they are work different for each person
Thanks for this video
What medications do you take?
Why are we all depressed?
Crap job crap weather, lockdown, that's me anyway
The world has become toxic
Are you still on medication?
Hey, i'm still on medication (sertraline)
I’m so afraid to even go talk to the doctor sometimes they don’t believe you unlesss you have a complete break down people act so oblivious sometimes
It just shows they are sort of selfish
its really hard to get a doctor to take you seriously which is the saddest thing ever because they’re supposed to be there to help you.be persistent, be honest & transparent with them. i hope they take things seriously for you
what antidepressants did you take?
in this i was taking sertraline (still am) + venlafaxine
I’m in my worst mind space these days gosh seeing people avoiding me in these days make me don’t wanna try anything no more
I shake my leg too
I’m scared of the side effects 😭
Did u start
Im scared of side effect that i felt my heart is full of happy emotion that ive felt that my heart feels so tired.its overwhelming emotion inside.
Sertralin has very few side effects. Start first with a low dose and increase it slowly. It's a very effective antidepressant.
the ups and downs? you sure its nots bipolar or something silmilar?
Good question
My God, what a beautiful, beautiful woman you are.............
You are probably the best looking person with depression I have ever seen. A girl contains that much freshness and beauty should not be depressed :) Your expression of emotion made me relaxed and my anxiety got down naturally. Wish you all the best
I know you mean well, but this might be the stupidest comment I’ve seen on TH-cam, and that’s saying a lot. What do looks have to do with being depressed?
@@zaiphu Is not depression suck all the positive energy? Also, do you not see the connection between the mind and body? Is not our face is the reflection of our physiological and psychological condition?
I feel really sorry that you are disabled to recognise a compliment.
Our external really is no decider for mental health conditions. Thank you for the kind nature in your comment 🙏🏽
wow 150 mg is a lot.
i know - i take 200mg now
Get a kitty great therapy
Do not take Effexor, citalopram,
Zoloft, cause Suicial ideation.
No
Jesus loves you. Trust in Him. God bless❤
❤️Thank you, thankfully I trust in his process
@@mentalhealthheadache Glory be to God. You have a very bright future. Please continue trusting in Jesus. I have been praying for you ever since I stumbled across your videos about a week ago. Don’t give up. God’s got you. 💕🩷
U seem tired in your citalopram video
Clif Gonzales it was definitely a different stage in my life & effected me in different ways
Off topic but you’re beautiful lol
ssri drugs killed my 16 yo son
I know this is late. I’m here because of suicidal ideation on ssri. I was only on them for a week and it was hell. I am so sorry for your son. This really saddens me. My friends son, 5 years ago, this also happened and I thought of him during this past week and really understood why!! I had been on a srni for 20 years. Came off which was brutal and I months later just now ssri for anxiety. I have never , ever felt so low and bad in my life. It’s dangerous and criminal in my now understanding. I hope your doing ok 🙏🏼
Thanks.
I'm shocked to read so much nonsense here about SSRI and co. People don't know what they are talking about. It's frightening to see so much stupidity.
I am not shocked to see someone as gullible as you are, Love your drugs some more and see iif in five years they live you back.
We know exactly what we are talking about.
@@christystrike4751 I have been taking them for 26 years now and feel great. I got off the drugs for a year and started taking them again. They saved my life. Without them I wouldn't have a normal life. Again, you don't know what your're talking about. Your claim that taking the drugs reduce your life expectancy by a third is complete nonsense. Show me a scientific paper that approves your claim!
@ Mudi Gowayed
It is good that you replied. Thank you for doing so.
There is a wall up in mainstream media which keeps many of us who speak about what the psych drugs did to us on them, but especially in withdrawals off them.
On Facebook I help many people who have terrible withdrawals off psych drugs. There are many Facebook groups which deal with the effects of withdrawals off these psych drugs.
It does depend upon which psych drugs a person is on, but across the board these people seeking help to endure the symptoms during withdrawals are a mounting movement who suffer greatly with the long-term effects of withdrawal off many of the current and even older psych drugs.
Please pay attention to what I am about to tell you:
At the age of 26 I was in a severe equestrian accident wherein the huge hybrid draught horse I was riding fell and crushed me. I went into Shock for about four months after that. The day of the accident I went to Hospital Emergency and the two Residents, doctors in training, missed an awful lot of what my injuries were.
I moved to another Province in Canada very soon after the accident. I began to have symptoms that, when I spoke with my sister who was studying Psychology at the time, she determined were evidence of what she called A Chemical Imbalance.
A small town Country doctor began to give me pills for the suspected Chemical Imbalance.
Now, to be very clear, I had severe injuries such as a Collapsed Ribcage which had collapsed onto my spine. I had internal organ damage and could not bear children despite later getting married twice in my thirties. During the whole time of my poly drugging on all kinds of cocktails of different psych drugs I could not feel my body at all.
On the different psych drugs over the course of my 30s, I was reinjuring my body over and over.
The psychiatrists were baffled as to why the myriad of different treatments of psych drug combinations were not getting me help for continued incomprehensible symptoms.
They agreed to let me stop taking them and assigned a psych nurse to help me taper off them over the course of a year.
On them I had had several hospitalizations. I was thirty years old when on Prozac I attempted suicide. A great many news reports and Scientific reports have shown that with Prozac there is a risk of suicide.
You may have heard of this.
I came off all the psych drugs April 1st 2001. I was 39 that year. I had been on those psych drugs for about 11 years. All that time I could not feel my body.
When the psych drugs were leaving my body I began to feel the injuries. In initial withdrawal I felt as if someone had ripped off a bandage the full length of my spine and it was pulsing red hot lava-like and so painful that I used to pass out frequently. The withdrawals took five years to end.
The pains and visible injuries are with me to this day, twenty years later.
The psych drugs had masked the injuries because the injuries were deep and internal.
I met people who were also on psych drugs in that time of my poly drugging. Some even received Electro Shock.
I did not.
These people, many of them, are now dead.
I came off the psych drugs. They did not.
I remain alive and they are dead.
Moreover, on the psych drugs I lost an awful lot. My inheritance was torn from me due to the incompetence which was attributed to me while I was on psych drugs. My Power of Attorney was removed as well during that time.
I had my Power of Attorney restored only several years after I had stopped the psych drugs.
You see, I regained my mind and powers of reasoning after stopping the psych drugs.
I fought hard to stay alive during withdrawals. I did die briefly one day in 2002. The rising toxicity was too much for my organs to process out of my body.
Our body's natural balance means that it pushes out foreign invaders and psych drugs are like poisons to the body in actual fact.
I have friends who have not been able to get off their psych drugs. One has been on Effexor for over two decades. He has Tardif Dyskonesia which means that he flicks his tongue from each corner of his mouth unconsciously repeatedly.
Friends on the newer psych drugs who have come off them have involuntary muscle movement called Akethesia. It is a direct result of the psych drugs.
Imagine? Involuntary muscle movement that doesn't cease? Can you imagine?!
I couldn't feel my body in my thirties.
Now I have felt a whole heap of pain ceaselessly for twenty years.
And, No, there's no way that I would go back on the psych drugs which made me a Zombie and a sitting duck for various thieves who entered my life or who were in my life as family members who stole from me what they could.
My new family doctor says that they treat patients with Chronic Pain with psych drugs. I tell him that that is not a good idea. These people on these drugs risk losing livelihoods and other assets. They also do die relatively young.
You can check The Guardians film out of California. What they say in the film is very true and understood by so many : When it comes to seniors all you have to do is Isolate. MEDICATE. TAKE THE ESTATE.
In Quebec Canada where I live many people see that these psych drugs make people into Zombies because the medical people have glutted the population with prescriptions of these types of drugs.
A Denis Arcand film from here is called in English Quebec Overprescribed.
You ask for evidence in Scientific journals, but there are none because it doesn't suit their Narrative and the power behind selling these drugs to people to dumb them down.
If you are looking for the truth in mainstream you won't get it.
I have to get on the Inversion Table shortly because it is the thing that is finally helping me to stretch out old painful scar tissue. I have trouble with my right wrist, my writing hand, because the arms too were deformed and I didn't feel this when I was polydrugged, but you can see it in photos of me in my thirties.
There's a lot that a person can't see when on psych drugs.
I will leave it there. There's a lot I haven't added that should be added.
Suffice it to say : Consider this a while -- There's a lot that a person cannot see while on psych drugs.
Mainstream has a wall up keeping our Survivor stories out of public information. This is deliberate and many of us know exactly why this is so. Dumbing the people down suits governments really well on many levels. None the least of which is getting seniors money. And harvesting young people's organs when they suicide on these psych drugs. It's a lucrative racket for any government. It stays out of mainstream news for this reason and for the fact that Big Pharma owns much of the mainstream media. TV stations sell advertising time and they pay the Piper doing so.
Those who aren't on any psych drugs know that psych drugs are creating people who they consider to be Zombies.
@@christystrike4751 I am very sorry to hear what you were going through. I know the withdrawal symptoms can be devastating. I got off venlafaxine. At first I got off the drugs too fast. It was horrible but it was my mistake. Then I got off gradually and I had no problems with that. Most people try to get off the drugs much too fast. Some need a few weeks, some others many months. The key in my opinion is to give yourself enough time. Unfortunately my depression came back one year later. Then I began to take Sertraline. That was the best decision because today I'm able to function as normal as before the depression. Bye the way I have just minor side effects from Sertraline. but in my case they are very very effective. I know that just about 50% of the people benefit from psych drugs but for many as myself these drugs are life saving. But I know that many physicians hand them out like candies although many people are not in need of the drugs.
How are you going through this with thst gorgeous face? Are you single?
Depression when u have enough to eat and a place to sleep, wow what a luxury
its a mental illness, everyone has their own battles, thats the issue. having a place to sleep and food to eat yet you still feel depressed
Do you literally spend your days posting this on every MH videos?
I've been on citalopram, now i am on zoloft.. So please tell me what works better for you.. Please answer.. I am confused
Now that I am on zoloft 50mg it's like emotional roller-coaster for me.. Does that go away or should I talk to my doctor and change meds or give it time...?
