So I think I have finally found that place I want to be! Yay! Has been 6weeks since I started on Citalipram and am now on 60mg, but I feel like the old me! Still have my moments of course but things are much better.

There is hope, and go the meds ]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 23:02:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1104610&title=how-long#1104610 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1093061&title=how-long#1093061 Author: coopersmum

my doc said 1/2 or a whole depending on how quick to see results.. so i dont think that's unsuual..mind you noone seems to get referred to MMH here..i certainly never got offered it anywhere which is disapoointing.. I am on 20 and have been since 24 weeks preg.. took 1-2 months to feel better properly.. though i still have my days but i think that's hormonal..

what are dizzys? Most eveyrone i know is on 20..so not sure after that..

Newlywed, have you been referred to Maternal Mental Health??? They are VERY experienced with PND and meds so might be able to give you some advice. My GP started me on a whole tablet right off the bat and I had HORRENDOUS anxiety. When I spoke to MMH, they were shocked, saying I should have started on a 1/4!!!!]]> Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:18:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092719&title=how-long#1092719 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092393&title=how-long#1092393 Author: coopersmum

Thats no good newlywed!! I changed GPs to find someone who could help me manage my PND (prob read in other posts) Strange that he won't increase it! As far as I understand its more about how your body motabolises the drug rather than uping it as to 'how bad' your PND is. I had my dose upped from 20mg to 40mg after 4weeks, then up to 60mg after 2 weeks. I also got diazapam to help me through in between times till I get to the 'right' dose. Maybe you could talk to you GP about it?? Do you have a plunket family centre you could vist?? Often they have Drs they work with, could be of benefit??

Sorry to hand out loads of advice.. Take what you like, such a hard thing to find help for I want to help everyone now!!]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 20:33:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092393&title=how-long#1092393 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092330&title=how-long#1092330 Author: anon

Hi - wow 60mg seems fairly common. I am only taking 20mg and my Dr is reluctant to increase it and I have to say I'm not doing too well. He reckons it takes 3mths and it's already been 2mths and I feel a bit better but not enough. Maybe it's coz of the initial anxiety I felt that makes him reluctant to up it? I don't have a lot of confidence in my GP to manage my PND well.

Anyway that's no help to you (except for the 3mth thing my GP said) but I'm looking forward to hearing others' experiences.]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:57:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092330&title=how-long#1092330 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092311&title=how-long#1092311 Author: coopersmum

Hi ladies, quick question if you don't mind..

How long did it take for you to find you balance with meds??

I am going through uping citalapram at the mo, with dizzys to help me through... Am thinking it might not be the drug for me, but am giving the citalapram a chance as I know it can take weeks to get the full affects. Have just upped to 60mg as of today, heres hoping!

Thought it might of some help to others aswell.

Hope everyone is taking care of themselves xo]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:43:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34599&PID=1092311&title=how-long#1092311
