Anxiety coming back supplementing lorazapan

Treatment and medication
1

Hi,

   I’ve been on citalopram 10mg since Oct and was in off it since 2011. I have been doing well, had a blip in Jan was fine till July and now feel all the nervous stomach symptoms coming back. Lorazapan ,5 mg helps but I am so worried about depending on it. I think of it as a reset and than implement better eating, meditation, astrology insights and inspirational books to help. I am wondering if my citalopram dose should be upped?  My goal is to not rely on drugs but if my brain chemistry doesn’t work right I probably need them.

So have you been feeling worse for about a month? Might be worth mentioning it to your gp if it doesn't settle in a week or so, and maybe you wouldn't need much more, say around 15mg or something? I'd have a chat with your gp. I'd really like to not rely on drugs, too, but they do really help, I wouldn't be able to get on with life without them at the moment. People need drugs for all sorts of conditions, and mental health is no different 😊
