I am now 12 weeks into an increase from 30-40mg and do not feel fully well yet. I still have morning anxiety and worrying thoughts, anyone else had to wait longer than 12 weeks for the full benefits?
I would go back to ur doctor & see if they can change them
I am on fluxatune & propranolol & my tummy anxiety as been bad all day
Hi,
I’m on fluoxetine and had an increase of my dosage from 20mg to 40mg back in June after struggling with anxiety and OCD thoughts. It took a long time for me to start to feel better and it was a very gradual process. I’m still not 100% now but the medication seems to ease the anxiety and then therapy can help you understand how to deal with your thoughts and anxiety.
It is a slow process though, but each day is a step closer to getting back to your normal self again!

Worrying thoughts doesn’t sound like Anxiety. Sounds more like stress or hormonal changes. Sometimes when we believe in something just enough that it will work, it may end up working. Have you got a cortisol level checked? It’s a good place to start. Then get a Metabolic blood panel done. If you notice any deficiencies start address them. To answer your question about Citalopram ask Chatgpt what Citalopram does in the body. After you read that you should have a better understand why it doesn’t work for Anxiety. Hope this helps.
