Hi,
I'm in Toronto, female, mid twenties. I've been depressed for as long as I can remember but have some periods of breaking free from all of it and realizing what my true potential is. I feel like therapy and drugs are me trying to reach that point again.
I'm taking Cipralex (was on 30mg, had the fun anorgasmia so went down to 20mg), after being off antidepressants for a few years because they interfered with me sexually. Cipralex I'm finding all right but it's expensive and the sexual side effects suck.
BTW, for anyone on Cipralex and having trouble affording it, Lundbeck (the Danish company that makes it) has a program through their office in Montreal called Helping Hands, where your doctor can apply on your behalf and get 3 months' supply free of charge. (Unfortunately they'll only give a max of 90 20mg pills, because 20mg is the maximum recommended dosage, so if you're on more you'll go through the free ones faster.) Most doctors don't know about or don't mention it, it so ask yours.
That's all I got.
