I was given the antidepressant cipralex does anyone know it?

Yes otherwise known as Citalopram amongst other names, It works well for most people, but beware it is also common for it to make people worse & more suicidal as it did me. Hope it works for you hun, if at any stage you feel worse after taking it please don't wait like me, go to your doctor. Let us know how you get on, hope this helps you. Don't let my personal experience put you off different drugs work differently for different people for different reasons. You just have to find the right medication for you

Good Luck (HUGS).

Mainly just upset stomach & then the feeling of being more suicidal as I said before, but this is different for everyone give them a go, my upset stomach only lasted about 3 days until my body got used to it, hope that helps

thanks!!i already feel nauseous a lot today and i couldn't eat much.i also woke up a lot earlier today.are these side effects?

This anti depressant is completely non drowsy but I don't think it would make you wake up earlier. If this is a side effect though it should last no longer than a few days. The biggest problem I've had with these is "sexual dysfunction" :| but overall they've really helped me.
Hope they work for you!
