ROAD TO RECOVERY

A diary of a depressed man: Day 1

I have taken the biggest step and gone to my GP, bored of the paranoia and horrible feelings of woe I am back on the antidepressants. After finding that my preferred brand Seroxat has now been banned I took reassurance that Citalopram Hydrobromide is the active man's blend and offers few uncomfortable side effects. I have written the day of the week next to each tablet on the blister strip and I am ready for the twenty eight days of "Nausea, decreased sexual performance, difficulty in passing urine, vague feeling of unwell, amnesia, joint and muscle pain, ringing in the ears, coughing, increase or decrease in weight" as described in the accompanying leaflet. I neck the first and wait for something to happen.
