Combinations - please help! codeine and citalopram??

[flipper70]

I have been recreationally using codeine for 5 years, not huge amounts - about once or twice every couple of weeks about 80mg - just enough to chill as life is so stressful! The doctor has just put me on citalopram for panic attacks and anxiety and its a nightmarte coz the codeine just hasd no effect! Ive read up on this and understand the whys, but im now feeling more anxiety and depression because i cant get the chill from the codeine. I used to be on fluexotine ( prozac ) which didnt effect the codeine at all but this does which is odd coz they work in the same way. I cant go back on fluoxetine as it affected my liver. I dont want to come off the citalopram as i need to feel better for my day to day routine - work and single mum to two children- but i feel so low without that moment for me every couple of weeks. Does anyone have any ideas about how i can get round this? appreciate it, going insane!
