Was on fluoxetine for 6 months less than a year ago, I felt great, I could easily dismiss worries that once consumed me. My wife thought I was a different person tho. Said I stopped caring about housework and other things that I was typically on top of. She forced me to stop. Just started citalopram 3 days ago...VERY sleepy. Hoping for the same ability to dismiss stress. I can't stand it consuming my mind
Hey Manderson
Citalopram have given me relief from my constant anxiety. It took a while though I'm approaching three months on it and only now really is the relief kicking in.
It feels like my brain is rebalancing. Have you tried mindfulness as well as the tablets. Or breathing excersizes? Less sugar seems to help me as well. Keep swimming and good luck
Hi Aken, thanks for the response. I have not tried mindfulness but will now that I researched it. One of the biggest things I noticed when I was on fluoexitine was I was much more sociable, and better yet I genuinely cared what people were saying. When I'm not on anything I typically don't care what others have to say (other than my loved ones) and I don't enjoy making small talk. I hope I can get back to that on citalopram. Everything was genuine, my smiles, questions, responses etc. I hope I feel that way again
