Hi all,
I've been on Prozac for almost 20 years! My husband was a police officer and there was a horrific drugs related death in custody, all very traumatic and long story I ended up on Prozac. Life has been up and down as it is and I've never come off them, my health has always been poor but following surgical complications, is not good. The same surgery also removed my ovaries so I'm not sure how much of my low mood is linked but no one is interested in that side of it, saying I had already gone through meno when I had the surgery so my ovaries were already redundant. Eevn when I was on Prozac I felt low and depressed plus the anti inflammatory I have to take contra indicates with it so I was told to come off Prozac and go onto cipramil. I'm in the middle stage when I'm not on anything, I'd like to be free and realise the only person who can help me is me. Equally though I'm nervous about not taking anything as my low mood is like a black demon constantly lurking. Has anyone tried cipramil (also called citalopram) , I cant face bad side effects so don't know whether to ride the storm and stay off everything or try cipramil .
Any advice grateful received xx
