Sorry to bother everyone. Have just been prescribed citalopram (20mg/day start) but am not sure whether to take at night or morning?... Dr didn't say and only works part time, CPN doesn't know, psych was a locum and has since left.
Also, my CPN forwarded a message from the psychiatrist to tell me to steer clear of yeast products and mushrooms, I thought this was an MAOI concern...can't find anything about this and citalopram.
Any advice or experiences would really help as I'm flying blind on this one.

Thanks,
m

(Background: Depressed for 4 years, 1st asked for help 3 years ago and currently finding it hard to get consistent help, (20+ weeks between psychiatric appointments about medication instead of stated 6, different psych each time as they all leave/retire/work as locums). Most successful to date was Venlafaxine 300mg/day but effect wore off and I couldn't tolerate an increased dose. I'm currently at my wits end, I'm not very good at asking for help anyway and I'm so low after a disastrous few weeks on reboxetine that i'm tired of having to fight so hard to be heard. So, please help, even if it's a pat on the back because I could do with it).
