I'm taking 20mg cit and 40mg of propanalol for severe anxiety I would even say my anxiety is worse than when this all started 8 weeks ago I never had the pains ect in my chest and the constant adrenaline feeling and only sleeping for 3-4 hours a night was thinking maybe doc needs to up my medication any thoughts?

I've always found Citralopram on it's own worked for me. I used to have dreadful anxiety and depression, and found this was the only thing that actually worked.
8 weeks is still early. Initially this medicine will increase your anxiety a lot before it begins to settle. You can also get lots of aches and pains. Most people seem to go through a lot of unpleasant scary side effects first before it gets better.

Hello Dawn
The Citalopram takes a while to kick in, I am taking it severe depression due to a break up,partner left me after 5 years and am devastated.
been taking these for 10 weeks now and am starting to feel a little better ,
it takes time but it will work.xx
Hi Dawn
Stick with it, anxiety did get worse for me when I first started Citralopam and at about 10 weeks got easier. It doesn't take it away completely but allows tyou to manage it easier...maybe try the Propananol as two doses of 20mgs twice daily...keep going honey one day at a time Lyn xx
