rod123 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi all, I've a question on something i was wondering about, Merrill has been on Citalopram for anxiety now for a couple of months now and her anxiety has improved a lot her sleeping has improved too, is that medication something they would leave her on or at some stage should she come off that, also she takes Ramipril for bp, i think that is something she will stay on, am i right about that thanks Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mario Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ramipril is a long term medication but it may be changed for an alternative or withdrawn if BP becomes too low with them or within normal limits without them. Be aware that one of the common side effects of Ramipril is a dry tickly cough which can appear after quite a long time on them and it is very annoying. Sorry can't answer the other part of your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Rod, my GP reviews my meds and my medical situation every 6 months now .... I take a beta blocker for anxiety and also for migraine with aura and heart flutters...I have done so, for 3 years. I would imagine that the GP would regularly monitor and review Merrill's situation re: anxiety, as hopefully with recovery time, the anxiety should lessen. At this present time, I mainly take the beta blocker to control the migraines, as the anxiety has certainly improved and to be honest, if I didn't experience migraines, then I would stop taking the beta blocker, as everything seems to have unwanted side effects.

Vivien Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think with anti depressants you stay on them for 6 months and then get reviewed, thats what happened to me anyway I now don't need them, Vivien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
