I've been taking citalopram for about 2 months, and went away a few days ago and completely forgot to take it with me.
I left on Friday, so i haven't taken it for 6 days now, and aren't going home until next week. I had been starting to feel better since starting anti-depressants, but now feel worse than ever.
I've started to feel soo soo sooo much worse this week, and feel hopeless and, well, extremely depressed and have been thinking about suicide again for the first time in a few weeks (i'm not considering it seriously right now but i've just been thinking about it more than usual since starting citalopram).
On top of that, all the physical symptoms i would have on a particularly bad day, such as headaches, nausia, extreme tiredness and my whole body aching and in pain to the point where it would make me groan and cry have come back, and seem to be more extreme than before. I've looked up symptoms though that you can get when you suddenly stop an anti-depressant and i think I have most of them right now.
I'm at a summer school and spent all day in bed today and missed out on so much stuff. I just don't want to feel like this anymore.
I've tried taking 5-HTP (2 a night) for the past 2 nights, and i think it has helped me sleep, but other than that I feel just as bad as before does 5-htp work for anyone here? I've heard it can be very effective but maybe it's just not having an effect on me.
If anyone has experienced anything similar or has any advice i would be so grateful! I guess i just want someone to understand and not feel so alone and isolated, especially being far away from home.
I hope you're doing okay xxx
