For all of us on anti depressants and arent going to TTC for a loooong time yet.

Can I join you. I'm not sure if we will TTC again after sufferiing PND even though I would dearly love another baby. If we do TTC it'll be in quite a few years.

I'm on anti depressants and not planning on TTC because well, quite frankly, I'm not planning on going anywhere near a man ever ever again!

[xpinkness87x]

i have a thing for giraffes and zebras... If we get premisson to decorate his room we are doing it with racing cars and giraffes... And zebras if i can sneak them in! My oh thinks i have lost it big time.

Everything is butterflies with me. My husbands got a bit of a shock when checking the CC bill, i'd gone a bit overboard on wall butterflies for Kate's room!!

hi :wave: I'm on venlafaxine and I'm single so definitely won't be TTC any time soon. I don't feel like I'll ever get off them tbh. They work and I worry that without them I'd be a mess!

 

[xpinkness87x]

i feel the same... they are starting to talk about coming off them.

:wave: Hi Isil. I'm on Venlafaxine too. I worry about reducing the dose as things have got so much better since I started taking them.

 

[xpinkness87x]

my doctors had a recall notice for citalopram apparently from a certain supplier they may have been packaged wrong and instead of having 10mg they might 20mg instead. Dont panic its just a word of warning xx

eek pink, that'd be a bit scary if you took a higher dose by mistake!

Raggydoll, have you tried to come off them or skipped a couple of doses by mistake before? I've gone through massive withdrawl from it, it was awful! Another reason why I don't really want to come off them. Apparently venlafaxine is notorious for being difficult to get off wish they'd told me that before I got on them! Venlafaxine is the only one that's ever worked for me and I've been on a few!

I didn't know that. Mind you after trying Citalopram for so long I'm just glad to have found something that works. I've missed doses before and start getting a bit anxious, I also get twitches in my arms and legs.

My doctor is talking about lowering the dose but I've asked not to make any changes just yet as I go back to work in a few weeks which is going to be a big enough upheaval.

I was on Citalopram 7 years ago for another bout of depression, I stopped taking them rather than lowering the dose and it was horrendous. I won't be making that mistake again.

 

[isil]

I think it's really good that you're being cautious about coming off it when you know that you're going to have a lot of changes coming up

Hopefully it's just horror stories on the internet I've read but I've been warned not to stop it by myself because of the withdrawl and once I tried to lower it and it was horrendous! I just went straight back up to my normal dose I'm happy to be on it for life

i dont think im ever going to get off mine The thought of it makes me scared


Im on 40mg of fluxotine and that apparently not that high of a dose!!
