OK, I want to make a more formal post about the anti-depressants I’ve been given. I’ve been on them for 3 weeks and all the weird and crazy side effects have gone. I am very happy about this as you’re about to find out. I am going to be very candid about the side effects ‘cos my first response when being given this medication I googled it, so hopefully this will help put some peoples mind at rest. Initially for the first week, I kept feeling quite nauseous but this did subside. I had some bad days too. I mean I usually work early in the morning and the medication wouldn’t kick it straight away and I’d be up and about on the verge of tears (Just so you know, my job was the reason why I have been prescribed the tablets). This happened twice but I have been assured that this shouldn’t happen any more by my doctor.

The other side effect I had was the worst one by far. Now it’s a little embarrassing going online and saying this but it needs to be done. My sex drive went down really low and even when I was in the mood, very rarely was I able to finish the job. I later found out that Citalopram is also prescribed for men who suffer from premature ejaculation. I don’t have this problem but these tablets worked for me so that I didn’t at all. Really not good. I am now back to normal. Woot!

I wanted to make this post so that other people on these tablets will at least have someone else who’s on them to put their mind at rest.
