I was on Citalopram a while back and all that did was make my SH worse and give me suicidal urges whilst almost incapacitating me with side effects. Now I'm on venlafaxine and generally, it works. I did have to have the dosage upped recently though.
It helps keep me calm, helps distressing incidents and events not get to you as much, you know?
Don't worry about it though Amanda, anti-depressants generally do work. You might start feeling some side effects like sleep disturbances and nausea, but they'll generally stop after a couple weeks at the most, though if they don't, just tell your doctor.
If side-effects get too bad or if Escitalopram (Lexapro) doesn't work for you, then there could be another kind of anti-depressant that will, just make sure to tell your doctor.
I hope it works out for you =)
