Hi, I have been on Cilift for anxiety and depression for 13 years. I also have hypothyroidism so am on Eltroxin every day. I have been on Urbanol for a while but it was not helping the extreme anxiety. I was prescribed Seroquel and have been on it for 3 weeks. My anxiety seems to be far worse, especially in the mornings but it does help me sleep at night. Stilnox sleeping tablets were not working. I have a pain in my chest, severe headaches, tingling feeling in my hands and a 'funny head'. I am on Yasmin as I have the Mirena but it does not work. The Mirena is still fitted. I have now read on this site (thank goodness I came across it) that both these cause extreme anxiety. I have now stopped the Seroquel and plan to stop the Yasmin and have the Mirena removed. If you have any similar experiences please comment.

Hi, I have been on Cilift for 6 months for anxiety. I first thought it was for depression, but it's anxiety. The doctor wants me to take it for 3 more months and then slowly stop using it! The problem is, I don't want to stop using it... is this a bad thing? Well let me explain: Little less than a year ago I started feeling dizzy, especially in the morning and during the day after I had something to eat. My sugar levels, blood, iron, everything is normal. Well, the dizziness is gone now, get it sometimes, but not that much. Strange thing is, I get it allot when I am in a big supermarket, strange.. The doctor told me Cilift has negative affects, he name three, but can only remember two: Sleepless nights and that you care less. I've noticed that the careless one sounded like me, cause I really care less, It's like I don't mind that much anymore, well for me it's kind of a good thing, cause I had negative thoughts of about everything before I was on Cilift. I also noticed that once every month I feel very sad and down, last a day or so, it's almost like the careless days build up inside me without noticed and then one day everything bursts out!! Well this is my story about Cilift, I would like to hear from the others as well.

seroquel can make thyroid worse!! never had thyroid problems until thismedication. i have been on it for YEARS, and i have hypo because of it...be really careful. i am now triing to seeking help from another psychiatrist, and a councelor to get off all the prescr. meds my current psych. put me on...i have a long rough road ahead. my opinion to everyone no matter how bad mentallly you are is to check into behavior modification, and natural remedies...i have been on pills for way to long and all they did was cover up symptoms and causes havac on my health.

I have been using CILIFT now for 3 weeks. I suffered from depression, severe mood swings, anxiety and sleepless nights.

Wow is all i can say, not only do i feel great, I sleep, which is odd as most comments say you can't sleep if talking CILIFT. I have lost 3 kg;s.

I have however experiend vertigo and butterflies in my stomach and 1 day that i was a bit "depressed" dare I say. But needless to say I am very impressed with CILIFT and so is everyone around me.

Has anyone else experienced weight loss on CILIFT?
