"after a tragic death in my family my depression got worse. i did not realize i had depression until this tragedy occurred. i would cry every day to exhaustion -- until i had nothing left -- just a lifeless emptiness. my doctor put me on citalopram and i am on 30mg&#039;s/day. i feel so much better!! -- no real highs and no real lows. i have tried to go medication free but it is not meant to be. i will have to be on this for life and i am thankful for this drug."
