Hi Im Veronika
I am batteling with depression from the time I was pregnant 6 years ago. There were many other factors as well. I moved to a totally different country in only a little time and underestimated the challenges i would have to face here. On the advice of my mother, who also takes it, I started taking Cipralex approx 4 years ago. At first I took 1 tablet a day and after some time I felt really much better.
After a year or so I was actually okay and I really wanted to stop. I have tried it once in a while not to take Cipralex but after some time my symptoms started happening again.
Does anybody know if Cipralex is actually addictive? In the description they tell that it is non habit forming.
I have extreme mood swings.
