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.

I’ve just had a 2 hour nap. Probably a bad idea but I felt tired. Gosh darn losing an hour last night. I didn’t have it as bad as the girlfriend, she couldn’t get to sleep till gone 3.30am and we had to be up at 5.30am. Getting up at 5.30am is bad enough. I mean, does everyone even know that a time as early as that exists on a Sunday? I didn’t used to. I’m not a fan of getting up early at all. That obviously means that I’m back at work now. I’m still a little jittery about it (as I think is expected). I’ve got a fully day of it tomoz and I am rather nervous about it. Don’t want stuff setting me off again. The drugs I have are anti-depressant, not anti-worry! (unfortunately).

Wow, this blog post has taken a rather serious swing into the too bloody serious. I just wish I had something more fun to talk about that I haven’t already mentioned before.

Later on we’re going to be watching the comedy classic that is “Dumb And Dumber”. I’ll have to say that that film is one of my favourite films ever. I watched that VHS to death almost when I got it. Me and Kate watch a film every Sunday. It’s our film day. I like watching a film on Sundays. It’s what Sundays are for, well at least they should be. I can think of nothing better than lounging around with someone you love watching a film or something. Woot! Go Sunday!

I’m in another mood to blog. I guess it’s good if I do it. Rather than speaking into a shoe or a hat as it were. I’m feeling less depressed and anxious than I have been of late and it’s deffo good. My initial worries about taking medication for it have subsided a bit. I didn’t have many side effects. Only a couple and they’ve pretty much passed. I am feeling better in myself and I’m sure having a week break is helping me too.

I’m listening to some Jimi Hendrix at the moment. I’ve not listened to him for a good while. I’d have to say he’s on of the guitarist I admire. Him and Jack White from the White Stripes. Whatever they’re doing to their guitar to get that kind of sound out of it should be illegal. I’m not a big fan of the guitar solo. not long wanky ones anyway. Some are awesome but when the rest of the band go for a tea break during it, you know it’s too long…. Mentioning no names, Mick Ronson!)

I’ve been busying myself with playing computer games. mainly Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars on the DS. It’s really good and well worth playing. Also been playing Animal Crossing obviously. So many games out now that are good fun. Good grief, just realised I’ve not played Dead Rising for a little while. See, that’s what happens when you have too many games on the go at one time. I’m am actually actively trying to get games done and dusted. (It took me yonks to getting around to finishing Ghostbusters on the C64) I’ve only finished one Wii game so far (if you don’t count House of the Dead) is the Simpsons Game. It wasn’t particularly taxing on the brai but ruddy good fun. At this point I think it’s time for me to stop this blog before it goes ono another tangent.

Oh BTW, Curry for tea!… Woot!

Serious one now. I want to document this on here so if other people are going through the same thing.

I recently have been getting quite alot of anxiety because of where I work. I am not legally allowed to go into more detail on that but its not been fun. I keep feeling anxiety and depressed because of it. It was getting so bad that I went to the doctors who spoke to me a little while and prescribed me a drug called Citalopram. Its an anti-depressant that will also help with my anxiety. There are some crazy arse side effects to them and they have given me a week off work for me to adjust them. These effects allege cause nausia, agitation, palpitations, nervousness… SUICIDE ATTEMPTS… I beg your effin’ pardon? Yeah that’s a bit scary. I’ve never thought of that ever, not even when I’ve felt the worst I’ve felt. So hopefully not.

I took my first does about 30 minutes ago and I’m going t keep a record of stuff that’s going on with them etc. Just so if anybody googles the drug like I did.
