ive been on citalopram over 4 weeks and i had been doing really well last week . but this week i have such bad headaches and im so tired amd the morning anxiety is back !!!??
any advice , ?
thats how these meds work you will have ups and downs every day every week every hour something different.it will eventually die down.and you will recover . slowwwwly.
god its so hard . im puttimg on a massive brave face for everyone but i wake up everyday expecting to feel gud or bad !!! its such a hard road xx
Yes it’s terrible, I am day 13 10mg, how long have you been on them, how many mg
Yes I totally agree with Lois. It’s a roller coaster ride for the first few months. It slowly will go away.
its now 4 weeks 3 days im on 20mg x
i really hope so . it takes over your life , im constantly thinking about how i feel
yes it is but all that will die down believe it or not.trust me.your not going to stay like that forever.it may seem like it.but believe me you will recover.
hi Nicola it is certainly a scary time but all of us on the tablets go through the same . Everyone thinks it will never end but it truly does . I had nausea, headaches , tiredness took about 9 weeks the 2nd time around . It will get better listen to a mindful app as many times as u possibly can . I have been on it for 18 months now with a bad reaction to antibiotics which set me back to the beginning . i have now been on them for 8 months had a few blips which worry u when u get them but u do come out the other end . take each day as it comes
Ditto what everyone else said. It takes a while Nicola. Really don’t hope to be levelled out until at least 6 months in, and even then, blips can still come.
If you’ve had a good week or two already, that’s great.
Don’t let the bad weeks fool you. You’re still stabilising. Hang in there x
i’m feeling the exact same way I was having some good days and then woke up and was like Bam but I wasn’t sure if I was getting a head cold because my head feels like it weighs 1000 pounds or if it’s just steal more symptoms and I am so tired . I also am getting these weird feelings of a slight burning sensation down the back of my neck in my arms it’s very mild but I don’t know what that’s about . I know all the things I want to do to get better and like trying to go for walks eating healthier taking my vitamins but I’m so darn tired I can’t even do any of that
i had that all the time started at my hands went right up to my head it was horrible x but it does go eventually
the burnimg sensation is horrible . it goes from my stomach and waves right over my head . i had a panoc attack last nite . well it was weird it wasnt a normal panic attack as im on valium amd propanalol . i felt boilimg hot amd was sweating amd my fingers and arms were tingling lile pins and needles. it only lasted 20 mins but i thought i was havin an allergic reaction. such a strange med this is . my world has changed so much my hubby and kids r gud with me and i now have hardly any friends as people are sick of me being ill now . got to get better soon x
wow imagine i had those same symptoms burning pins and needles on my scalp for many months this was before any antidepressants.as soon as i started the celexa everything plus yhe kitchen sink was magnified.but it all weny away at the 8month mark.
that is how i was always. i felt horrible with panic attacks which i didnt know that was what i was experiencing. it was a living nightmare.
Michelle,
Your feeling better. I’m elated.
Will
thanks Will yes a lot better still hanging around a bit but i can cope with it . Went swimming before and after work yesterday which was good . How r you anyway i miss r little chats
thank u all for ur continued words of support . i was starting to eat amd have more energy until thursday nite amd ive now come crashing down again . ive had some bad news so know its prob related to that but i dont want my life to be about never recieving bad news or being able to cope with lifes setbacks . i used to cope better than this before the cit. im fed up . i have no energy and dont wanna function or anything.
The no energy is hard to deal with because alot of my worry is about all the things I’m falling behind on not to mention the house projects, leaves and garden than need to be taken care of., bill that need to get paid etc. iI just can’t handle all the pressure.
hey cara
im self employed and am letting my customers down every day with my lack of intrest for work . im too tired to do anythimg with my kids amd they spend most of their time after school on their ipads . its just easier for me to cope . im just rushing the days away so i can wake up better . please god !!! i cant take much more !!! christamas is gonna be crap this year!!!
