(77) Citalopram...

W has been on a terrible downer of late.
One of the next steps was to come off the anti-depressants, easy? Not!

When Dr Makala changed his medication 3 years ago we hadn't realised that Citalopram was
addictive. So 3 years later W is desperate to come off them, as we know the cause of the depression.
A couple of months back our Dr recommended that he took them every other day and gradually wean off them. W was doing really well so reduced it to every 2 days, then every 3.
A typical W wanting to run before he can walk, I know he is eager to be drug free but a day at a time.
W had become very irate and angry over minor things, nobody could do right for wrong, his anxiety was through the roof and he was desperate for his tablet. So back to the Dr's and he has put him back on them every day, hopefully a lesson learnt and he will do it gradually now.

Another phone call to Charing Cross as we are still awaiting our 2nd appointment, once again he was told he was discharged because he didn't turn up for his last appointment, I think he finally got the message across regarding the mix up of the appointment, I still don't know why they can't give him an appointment over the phone as the diary is right in front of them.

Looking at timescales, we were hoping that major operations would have happened whilst still at Uni, he can still do his studies whilst recovering...Sods law it will all happen when in his 1st work post.

(76) Where has that year gone?

One year anniversary, scary...Time has flown by. To think I was in a hotel room in Brighton trying to suppress my emotions whilst W took another hurdle towards his transition.

Not a lot to post but couldn't let the date pass by without a mention.

Still waiting for the second appointment from Charing Cross, unbelievable.
