Seems like a minor thing to post but I’ve finally eaten something today. Not a lot but something. Ordered a small pizza and managed to eat half of it.
Felt so ill yesterday I went to hospital and had blood tests all of which surprising enough came back normal even my glucose level which really surprised me.
I’m finding mornings have become even more hellish if that were possible. Is that usual?
yes all normal was exactly the same for me i suffered with bad nausea in the mornings and morning anxiety . It gradually gets better
the celexa side effects are bruttal.and to have anxiety on top of celexa is also a nightmare.but it will all subside .take care
You know, if I were suicidal I think these side effects would push me over the edge? Honestly… I’m hoping that the little I ate today IS a sign of improvement and not simply my body being desperate for nourishment. I was careful not to eat until I was full as I think that may be too much of a shock to my stomach.
Believe it or not, morning anxiety and being able to eat … all signs you are leveling out and the meds are finally starting to settle 
Glad to hear your appetite is coming back and your bloods are good, that’s really encouraging.
Mornings are the worse for many people but they will improve.
Ron,
That’s great! My anxiety is absolutely worse in the morning, I went through a particularly bad phase where I’d throw up at least 3 times a week first thing in the morning, I was so overwhelmed by the anxiety. It was like as soon as I would wake up it would all come rushing in and overwhelm me. I remember clexa getting worse before it got better, but once you get over the hump it is worth it

Hi Ron, great news that you’ve managed to eat something. Make sure you eat whenever your anxiety lifts a little and your appetite comes back. I am no longer taking citalopram, but I do have bad anxiety and I find it is much worse in the morning and very difficult to eat. I usually find my anxiety will lift for a few hours each day and I make sure I eat as much as I can manage during that time. Go easy on yourself and take care.
thanks sourgirl. Really hard morning with anxiety/panic. Calmed down a bit this afternoon and managed a cup of chicken soup. Later on i managed a small bowl of porridge. I’m finding that listening to the radio helps me get distracted from the feelings of anxiety. I’ve tried the TV but it has the opposite effect. Not sure if youre in the UK but i find radio 4 extra really good. There’s also lots of good stuff on catchup.
How come youre no longer taking citalopram. i wont be surprised if you said it was the side effects. Peace…
Have you tried Audio books Ron?! I have found it a god send. When I have a blip it gets me through the night especially.
I’ve been a member of audible for years Moaney and i totally agree thats its a god send. I’ve 2 books on the go at the moment but unfortunately they are thrillers and make me more anxious. When my next credit goes in i’ll be buying something more relaxing..
I was like that for a while. I couldn’t watch anything too fast paced or listen to scary/thriller books. I downloaded CBT books. I couldn’t stand the dark or artificial light too. Weird but all relevant. Hope you are picking up a bit
What mg are everyone on, I am 15mg week 5, still not doing nothing for my anxiety,
Sorry for asking you why youre no longer on Citalopram. just read your kther thread which explains why. Good luck
iam on ten milligrams .but it took 8months to recover from anxiety.
10mg for the last 7 days at the moment (hoping to build up to 20mg) and although the side effects are still hell I am noticing a slight difference. I was better on 20mg before I took the bad decision to come off them.
i dont understand why folks come off there meds.i think if your feeling well is because of the meds.so glad your feeling a slight difference hopefully for the better.
I can only speak for myself Lois but in my case I was coming to the end of 2 years of group therapy and felt better and thought I would come off it a couple of months before the group ended. I still felt OK at the end - that was about 5 months ago. In hindsight a big mistake.
HI I am haveing temple pains, and tiredness rotten ,what are your side effects
so iam pretty sure that somewhere down the line it has to be chemical for most of us not mental.does that make any sense?
