I have to take citolapram, if I try to stop taking them I get very emotional, so much so I could burst into tears anytime, anyplace, anywhere....I feel out of control of myself and I don't like that.

I hate to do anything on my own, I don't like to go to our local coffee morning in the village if there isn't anyone I know to go in with. I know it's stupid but I've always been like that.

I'm aching really badly in my feet, legs and back today. I don't know if it's because I'm walking real bad with my heel being bad, so I'm straining muscles in my legs, or if it's a side effect from a tablet. I keep on smiling and putting up with it, but to be honest, I'm at the end of my tether with it all.

I had restless legs on every anti d I tried, except the Amitryptiline I am taking now, as pain relief not for depression, and several sorts gave me muscle spasms which hurt. After a spasm I felt like I had been kicked in the leg.  My GP swopped my meds very quickly when I told her as it can be a side effect.  Please get it checked out.

Streety I know what you mean about being in and out of bed, your kids will understand that it is part of your illness. Mine were amazing and still are when I hit a downward spiral. They argue less when I am down and try to look after me.
