Jabrem Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Over the past fourteen months my GP has changed my AD from Citalopram 40mg to 20mg because guide lines changed. Problems started, so changed to Fluoextine 20mg in March 2013. Increased dosage to 40mg in April 2013. Fluo not suitable so changed to Trazadone 100mg in December 2013. Trazadone not suitable so changed to Sertraline 50mg end of December 2013 Increased to 100mg end of January 2014. Increased to 150mg March 2014. Decreased to 100mg April 8th 2014. Obviously my brain does not know what the so and so is happening. Feel very low again. Side effects of headache ( mainly in the back of my head) make me feel very spaced out. This together with blurred vision and pain in the back of my neck are a constant worry and I wonder if I will always feel like this. Any help or information would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you in anticipation vonhope Link to comment

Administrator Altostrata Posted April 26, 2014 Administrator Share Posted April 26, 2014 Welcome, Jabrem. When you say the drugs were "not suitable," what do you mean? This is not medical advice.
