			<description><![CDATA[Hey guys,
<br />

<br />
I've been on citalopram for about 3 months..
<br />
Just say I stop 'Cold turkey'. What could happen? Something/Nothing?
<br />

<br />
I have searched on the net but found nothing, so thought i'd come here..
<br />

<br />
I suppose any ideas would be nice.
<br />

<br />
Thanks]]></description>

			<description>Hi all, I was wondering if those of you who have taken Antidepressant medication would tell me what was the medication that has been the most successful for you in terms of lessening your Depression?  I am asking this because I recognise that my depressive symptoms are escalating and I need to take medicine again. 

   I wish I didn't have to but I want some quality of life! I am appreciative of any information that you are able to share with me.  Thanks in advance.  Becks.    </description>

			<description>Hi everyone,



I have reasonably severe depression for many years now and am keeping pretty stable on a combination of 600mg daily of Effexor and Lithium. This was after trying Citalopram, Fluox and other SSRI's. Like most people, my goal is to reduce my drug intake and try to cope more &quot;naturally&quot; - in fact I tried St John's Wort a couple of months ago with disasterous results! Stupidly, I didn't check (or ask) about the effect that the combination may have. Suffice to say that  ...</description>

			<description>Hi all, this is my 3rd day being diagnosed with PND and prescribed paroxetine. I am hoping that the side effects will subside very soon as i feel like its very noticeable that Im acting weird. I feel like im on ecstacy but without the good buzz just the hot/cold sensations, shivering, dry mouth and I constantly need to chew gum oh and yawning. I feel a bit paranoid too like everyone is looking at me and wondering if im on drugs. Please tell me your experiences with paroxetine...</description>

			<description>I was on Fluoxitine, now I will start to take citalopram on Friday after a short break from Flux.



I had thought I was getting better, but the doc doesn't think they are working as well as they should (?)



I am so confused now, a break - then another drug to adjust to??



What is the difference between the two.  The doctor said that they both do the same thing, but in a different way......hmmm .... I am really struggling with this as I don't understand it.

			<dc:creator>JK</dc:creator>
			<description>Hi All.

Well I've seen my very first psychiatrist, and after complaining the first four didn't work, he has put me on a fifth time of medication.



Anyone tried moclobemide?  Apparently this one works differently to most other antidepressants (SSRI's).  It is an MAOI, so works on a different chemical.  



Anyway I've been off my meds for a week, and have to go one more week before I start the new ones.  If I go loopy, you know why   Wish me luck.

			<description>1. Sitting and reading or watching TV

Here's where we start off the exercise scale but rather than class this as an exercise we refer to this as an activity. It does burn a little more energy than sitting quietly or sleeping, although the extra energy requirement comes from increased brain activity by consciously interpreting what was seen or read. Increased brain activity burns mostly carbohydrates however many other metabolic processes will use fat to fuel the processes, problem is there  ...</description>

			<description>Dosage has been doubled now. Doc said to keep taking the one in the morning like I've been doing then take another one at night. When I take the other one at night though I feel really teary-eyed and like I'm gonna burst into tears at everything. Thinking of taking the two in the morning (used to take 5 of them every morning few years ago) but am afraid it will bring back the nausea. Soooo does anyone have a cheap easy effective way to cure nausea??</description>
