I know the feeling of not wanting to try a new medication after a negative experience with one prior to that. I was prescribed citalopram for the same reasons a few years back, It didn't help me as much as I'd have liked but that doesn't mean to say you won't get on well. I'd encourage you to give it a go, you've got nothing to lose in the long run, it may turn out to be one of the best things you ever did. Of course every drug has side effects, but they'll vary from person to person and you may well have zero-very little problems with this new option. One step at a time, taking it would be a start though. If you're concerned about anything I'd say to do some of your own research and speak to your GP.
