10 May 2012 I' m also please with my results, I've been on this dose for about 4 weeks and I wish I'd started sooner, I had been thining about talking to the doctor about my moods etc but was too scared to take medication. The first week was VERY strange but now much better. Not sure if its just coincidence but I don't crave the rubbish food (cakes etc), like I used to.

01 Apr 2012 In general Citalophram Hydrobromide has provided me with relief from my anxiety condition. I take it along with Nortriptyline which I used to stop smoking and am currently reducing to come off that. I have had some weight gain but hard to say which drug this is to do with. I am however, watching as I would come off it if I gained any more weight (currently approx 2kg).

09 Jan 2012 I was diagnosed with severe depression, wasn't suicidal, but it was hard to find the energy to get up in the morning. So my doctor prescribed me this and it seems to be working well. I feel better and have energy to get up and face the day. The only problem I am having is that I am having absent menstrual cycles and my husband over seas and has been for a year. So I have been researching and found only a little bit of information but not much. Also the thirst is insane, I've drank more water than I did when I was a kid! Just be weary of that if you start this drug, it does wonders but its kind of hard on the body too. Good luck!
