Hi, I'm new on here. I have yet another bout of depression and anxiety. Normally the 20mg tablet I take (Cipramil) does the trick. I've been on these for two years. I've had to increase them this time. I have two children and would love to here from someone like me. Sometimes its hard to make people understand how you feel. One minute ok, the next down!

welcome :)
cipramil is a prozac type med that often helps a lot, the dose does often need upping over time
it also helps to learn new ways of calming and relaxing yourself for the anxiety

Thank you for that! I going to try relaxation tapes. I do try to relax when I'm really bad, but then get on with my busy life and forget about it. I think I should try more to keep up with them this time!

Hi chell,
Im a mother a 2 in my thirties. I tried the cipramil (citalopram) and it took the edge of my anxiety, but i gained so much weight i gave up on it (stupid - i know), im not taking any pills at the mo (im a wuss and dont really like taking them), but ive just recently started having counselling.
Ive discovered deep breathing and relaxation which i find helps a lot, also ive tried taking a little 'me' time which is when i normally come on here.
My youngest is 11 months and a real handful, but im lucky that i have a very supportive partner who understands that i need a little time in the evenings to myself.
I find these boards really helpful, nobody judges you, its anonimous and you can let off a bit of steam.
Welcome and feel free to post back.
