Hi previously I had a problem with sleep. Doc prescribed me antidepressants. I had left those last year. Now I m not taking any antidepressants from last 1 year almost. As I use to fear about its side effects in near future in pregnancy and all. Right now I use to feel very tired, low energy, very bad sleep so I m again going to start citalopram at a very lowest dose. I use to fear about its sideeffects in conceiving and all. But I dnt have any option. Any suggestions?
