Citalopram has worked!

I suffered as everybody on the drug has. I couldnt drive without panic attacks. .i was scared. .i was ruminating. .i was terrified to tell my husband and trying to hide it from my kids. The first 2 weeks were ■■■■...i had suicidal thoughts which were not normal to me. .i cried for no reason and i hated to be alone.

6 weeks later and each day being more tolerable i was finally on the up. This med is a godsend but it takes time. I no longer have the extreme lows or the extreme highs..and I'm comfortable with this. This med takes the edge of the anxiety which in turn gives you a clearer mind which in turn lowers your anxiety. Sick with this med. X

This is great to hear I’m on week 7 and even though I’m feeling a bit better I’m losing hope that it wasn’t working my GP said it can take 8-12 weeks so I’m hoping I’m on the right road now.

I haven’t told my husband either I’m taking them I feel ashamed that I can’t tell him does your husband know now? 

Hi Sherri, yes he does. He just said to do whatever i needed to feel better. No different to talking the pill for 15 years! Im sure you will be beginning to feel better very soon. Don't muck around with the dose as this will knock you back to square 1.....this was a mistake i made early on. Best of luck! Xx
