I’ve been taking citalopram 10 mg for 8 weeks now. My anxiety has definitely improved, which is a positive sign, but I still experience a constant feeling of nervousness, inner restlessness, and discomfort every day. This feeling causes me a lot of distress and makes it difficult to relax and feel like myself.
About 3 weeks ago, I started experiencing a strange, foggy feeling in my head every day. Thankfully, that has improved recently, but I still don’t feel completely normal.
I’ve read that recovery can take time and that my nervous system might still be adjusting after a long period of anxiety and stress. I’m wondering whether this could explain why I still feel this way after 8 weeks.
It’s mentally and physically exhausting. I really want to move forward with my life and start feeling like myself again. Although my anxiety has improved, the ongoing physical nervousness and restlessness are making everyday life difficult.
Has anyone else experienced this after 8 weeks on citalopram 10 mg? Did the nervousness and restlessness eventually go away with more time?
