As the others have said though, seeing as it's not a clinical trial you will most likely be absolutely fine; it is already an approved drug. One of the most noticeable side effects that can happen with many SSRIs though, including Citalopram/Cipralex, is that you won't be able to get it up quite as well as normal, if you're a bloke that is. If that happens, you know you probably didn't get the placebo  |
Er, if anything its done the opposite for me, and a friend of mine. We're both on the same dose of Citalopram (20mg daily).
Oh, and by the way, 20mg is not a mid high range dose as someone said earlier in the thread. The maximum daily dose is 60mg. Therefore 20mg is quite a low dose, albeit the most common.
I also take exception to the comments about people that are depressed needing a good night out, or words to that effect. Whoever it was that said that obviously has never been diagnosed with clinical depression. Get your head out of your **** you idiot. You know not of what you speak. I have been suffering for some time with PTSD bought on by my job as an EMT. Some of the symptoms of PTSD are depression and anxiety as well as suicidal thoughts and flashbacks. I have had all of these symptoms, and then some, and I can say that if the person that made such an inane remark earlier referred to in this post had said it to my face I would probably have ripped their face off. Comments such as those do nothing for a depressed person's state of mind and can, quite often, have a detrimental effect.
Be careful what you say about depression and the people that suffer from it. It is a very real illness that affects a lot of people.
Rant over.
Mods- sorry if I went too far. People like this mindless idiot just annoy me.
and that just depresses me
