I'm doing really badly at the moment.
I was going to kill myself on Monday night because I was convinced that Citalopram was making me suicidal. I didn't do it as I'm a lone parent and I didn't want my children to find my body.
On Tuesday I went to A&E and told them that Citalopram was making me suicidal but I knew that I couldn't just stop taking it and I needed them to tell me how to wean me off it as I didn't want to go through withdrawl. The psychiatrist told me that Citalopram doesn't make people suicidal and to not stop taking it. She referred me to the Crisis Team who call me daily. They are still assessing me so no further referrals have been made. The psychiatrist at A&E and the Crisis Team have told me that I can go into hospital if I want. My gut reaction is no but how do I know if I should? I need to get better as my children depend on me but I feel really wobbly.
