Doctor priscribed me Citalopram. Should I take this med? I am a new mother who i!


Question: I have taken anti depressents for 3 months right before I got married and I had bad side effects. I got depressed after I took the anti depressents. I had bad anxiety attacks, irrational thoughts, suicidal thoughts, obsessive compulsive thoughts, nightmares, unable to eat, diahrea and vomiting. I am affraid to take Citalopram now because I am affraid that I might get bad side effects again. Although I only took those meds for 3 months the meds completly changed me. I am not my self. My mother didn't help me at all when I told her about the side effects of the meds. She told me I was a bad person and going to be a bad wife. Now I have obsessive compulsive thoughts every single day thinking that I am a bad person. I take care of my baby real good but I also have suicidal thoughts & have post partum depression. I am affraid what if things don't get better if I take this med. How safe is this med? I don't want to end up in a mental ward. I want to take care of my baby. Please advice.

Should go to a psychologist to get a diagnoses. You may not need counseling instead or in conjunction with the medicine. Also what you were taking before may have been too high of a dose or your body was just getting used to it. When breastfeeding you should avoid the medicine b/c it will get into your baby. One more thing STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE IT ONLY MAKES THE RECOVERY HARDER. TAKE THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Go to your doctor and tell him to take you off Citalopram and put you on a different medication. Citalopram is not good for you. Anti-depressants are supposed to help you with the least amount of side effects.
