    I took cipramil for about 18 months, many years ago. It was a bitch to acclimatise to, but other than that, I had no problems. I was lucky to start on one that works for me. Many, if not most, people have problems like others have mentioned. It can be fixed by changing to different meds or dosages for some.

    I was also lucky not to have any ill effects as I went off it cold turkey, which is not a smart move.

      Yeah, going off cold turkey can cause horrible withdrawal symptoms. I hope they weren't too severe! I'm glad you also started on something that worked for you. Feel good and thanks for sharing!!

        All good. Was years ago, and a short term solution as a complement to therapy. I had zero withdrawal symptoms. I guess it balanced out with the three or four days sick as a dog each time I eased myself into them. Hah.

        Do you have any therapy in addition to your meds?

          It's not my fault.
