Question: I have been prescribed Cipramil - should I take it? My doctor has prescribed me cipramil to help with anxiety. I have read on the net about the possible side affects and withdrawal symptom and find them very off-putting. I was not offered any counseling, only the drugs. I have not started to take the drugs. Is it normal practice to be prescribed drugs before counseling?

Answer: I MYSELF TAKE CIPAMIL IT IS INVALUABLE I HAVE THE DOSAGE HIGHERED OR LOWERED ACCORDING TO MY MENTAL STATE YOU CAN NOT "THINK ABOUT" IF YOU SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T TAKE AN ANTI DEPRESSANTS YOUR G.PS ADVICE AND THOUGHTS OF YOU WERE THAT IN THERE CONSIDERATION YOU NEEDED MEDICATION MAYBE GO BACK AND SAY YOU WILL TAKE THE TABLETS BUT YOU ALSO WANT COUNSELLING    GOOD LUCK  xx
