Citalopram – This is It! – weening off anti-depressants .. My experience part three
So this is It! My last Cotalopram pill. For the past two weeks I have been slowly weening myself off these tiny little gems of tranquility.

#depression – Chemical Ali – Pills, Potions and Anti-Depressants
After two years of resisting vehemently the anti-depressant route I finally succumbed and took the advice of loved ones and the doctor.

Unable to live a full life without the regular hit of whateverContinueContinue reading “#depression – Chemical Ali – Pills, Potions and Anti-Depressants”
