Wow today was Tough! No appetite at all. Crazy diarrhea. Mornings anxiety and just overall flu like symptons. Surely good days are coming soon! When do the worst of side effects Stop! Help I need some hope!
Hi Shane
We are all different but when I started on 10mg of Citalopram for anxiety I felt heightened anxiety really bad for the first 5 days then after that it was mornings that where hard waking with nervy tummy etc and did t go out of the house much but it hit loadsbetter for me and now I'm over 4 months and take 15mg and feel loads better
Morning anxiety is the worst ugh just stick with it and keep moving.
Some people just can't take certain antidepressants. It's toxic in their body. Just an idea but have your liver enzymes an pancreatic enzymes check to see if elevated. I had Hepatitis from 2 med's. Not the blood hepatitis but inflammation of the liver. Alot of these meds are metabolised thrue the liver or broke down in the liver. Zoloft an Prozac were horrible on me. Severe anorexia, severe diarrhea, BAD joint pain, all over bad body pain. I couldn't hardly function. Had tests done an showed elevated enzymes. Tapered down a little then stopped both when I was taking them. 2-wks later...no body pain, no joint pain etc.. had bloodwork done again a month off these an enzymes went back down. Thats proof that some of these just can't ve taken by certain people. If it continues (body pain, joint pain) i would get bloodwork. Why suffer?
Thanks Debbie! Definitely tough going these first 3 weeks. Mornings are a misery. Thanks for sharing your story gives me hope. Kind regards, Shane
Thanks Zio, I will follow-up with my doc.
Best Shane
