Some of you probably saw the post of how i was gunna have some of my MUMS anti depressants to try them out ( with her permission )
Well im now on day 5 with them and i feel a SHITLOAD happier, and my anxiety isnt quite so bad.. But my tummy always feels really weird.. mum says some people loose weight on them... But alot of the time i feel full... and because i feel full all the time i dont eat for hours at a time until im ABSOLUTELY starving and cant even face food.... you know that feeling when ur so hungry u cant eat??? well i seem to be having that ALL the time..

why are they doing this??? and is it normal ?

they are called " Arrow Citalopram " ↓

Rosey!!!! stop taking other people's meds!!!!!!!!
Get your little arse down to the docs and GET YOUR OWN!!!!!
It takes about 2 weeks for anti-depressants to work properly so at day 5 I think the placebo effect is happening, what is happening is somethink else that is NOT GOOD!!!!
You have to eat!!!! ↑

Rosey...depression is nothing to be scoffed at, but it needs to be diagnosed properly and treated with the correct meds. Take mum with you, you will feel alot better knowing you are taking the right stuff!!!!!

Rosie.....
You need to see your doctor.....you need your own prescription, with you own dosage monitored by a professional...... ↑

i agree!!! rosey you shouldn't be taking other people's meds....their dosage is customized for THEM and not anyone else. only a doctor should be deciding what you should be taking. and maybe there's a different med out there that the doc feels would be better for YOU.....if you're really depressed, you need to get over your fear of doctors and get the proper help that you need!!!! ↑
