My dosage has now been reduced to 10mg from 20mg, but still on Cipramil. The doctor crossed referenced other brands of anti-ds, but all had the same effects. I asked about coming off and she suggested to wait til at least 3 months and then we'll talk about it. It's 6 months if you've been on more than one course. As to how will I know when it's time to come off she replied, 'it's just a chance we'd have to take'.
She asked me about the pills in general to which I replied they're fine. My moods are lighter and I don't want to cry every morning like before.
I'd taken along my herbal sleep and stress-alleviation tablets to ask her opinion. She was slightly concerned that it contains Mother Wort, but as the anti-d dosage is now at the lowest of 10mg most side effects are minimal. If I experience any side effects with combining the anti-ds with the herbal tablets then I'm to stop taking the herbal tablets.
All in all felt more positive leaving the surgery. I'm to go back in a fortnight to talk to her again about how I'm progressing.
