Hi to all...
I'm currently in the process of coming off my citalopram (generic Celexa) for the first time in a couple of years. I'm going through the whole SSRI withdrawal process, which I bet a lot of you already know is extremely unpleasant... I've done it before, though, so I know what's going on and how to manage it the best I can.
My question is on the new drug I'll be starting soon-- Anafranil. Has anyone ever taken it? Any comparisons between it and SSRI's? Side effects? How long before a noticeable effect?
I've only ever taken SSRI antidperessants, no tricyclics or anything else, so I'm curious about pretty much everything right now. I'm the type that likes to find out every single tiny piece of information I can get my hands on, so anything at all will be helpful and interesting to me!
I'll add that I've already read lots of good info from various websites and publications. When I'm really interested in at this point are personal experiences from people who've actually taken the drug themselves, know what I mean? It's one thing to read something in a report and another thing altogether to hear it from the mouth of someone who's been there.
Thanks--
Charity
