depression
"I have been diagnosed as manic depressive, A.D.D. & suffer from high levels of stress & anxiety. I was on Zoloft from 2004 (13y.o.) to 2013 (22), with my highest mg being 150 or 175. Worked ok, but made me zobified. I still had panic attacks & my mood was off. I've been on Citalopram for a month now, just 20mg, & it's helped a LOT. After having my son in 2013, I decided to stay off meds (weaned myself at 22 weeks bc of risk of defects), figuring I might be able to do this on my own. I noticed irritability immediately after he was born. It took me a while to convince myself I needed meds again, when I had an awful panic attack & couldn't sleep. Being on Citalopram has decreased my irritability, & made me a lot less nervous. I'm even working!"
