Okay il just have to go tomorrow and hopefully ill get a nice doctor haha.
Thank you, one more thing haha can you drink alcohol with these tablets? I I don't plan to get drunk but im going to a funeral in a few days so just wondering if ill be able to have a drink.
Thanks again for all your help. X
Yes u can, if u read the leaflet it says alcohol has no effect on the tablets.
It takes 3 to 6 months but as soon as they receive your application they start giving you £73 a week till the process is over, but if u decide to go that way text me and will help u feel in the forms, on site, cheers
From what I've read on this site about ppl drinking while taking cit is that the alcohol affects you more as in you feel the buzz more, and please don't listen to 2Richardt as it clearly says on the leaflet that comes inside the pack of cit that "you should not drink alcohol while taking this medicine" I'm looking at it right now. But saying that if you have a look around this forum you will find threads that are about drinking on cit, I personally dont because I worry I'll be too paranoid that it will have a bad reaction so I just don't want to go there as I'll probably just have a panic attack lol, but ppl have reported that the alcohol just has a stronger affect.
Okay thank you x
So I I took my first one last night before bed and I fell asleep straight away but kept waking up every couple of hours feeling sick and I still feel sick now x
Yes o had nausea for about a week, a lot of ppl seem to get that but it will pass over time, I know its not nice it reminded me of being pregnant and having morning sickness lol.
So if the nausea is keeping you awake you could start taking it in the morning, part of the reason I take my cit in the morning is because id rather experience the side effects during the day then at night because I dont want my sleep to be disturbed, when i dont sleep well my anxiety goes through he roof.
But a good thing is at least thats all your experiencing so far, hopefully that'll be it for you :-) but try to remember the nausea does calm down after a few days this is just your body getting used to the cit.

I took it again last night, I woke up several times but didn't feel as sick although today I feel drained of energy Iv just been lay in bed all day haha is that a side effect or? I do have a cold atm as well so x
Oh yes? It's a bloody annoying side effect and one unlike the others that hasn't gone away, I wake up okay with energy actually but a few hours after taking my cit at 7am I start to feel drained, I've even had a few naps during thw day since starting cit and I never ever take naps lol, it can be very annoying as I have a 4 year old with a mega amount of energy, I really hope it does go away. When my kids are at there dads I pretty much just want to lay in bed all day but I promise sh myself to get up amd go out and the weird thing is if I'm keep active I don't feel so drained but as soon as I sit down the drain feeling comes straight back, someone else on here said they experience the exact same thing so its all normal x
Wow I need to read over what I write before I post, sorry for the typos I'm using my Samsung 3s and the touch screen does what it likes lol. I meant to say I push myself to get up and go out.
Okay thank you its so horrible haha.
Iv also completely lost my appetite since taking the first tablet I haven't ate an actual meal x
Its up to you Heather I would say go in if you feel up for it, Its always scary meeting new people but once you get chatting am sure you will be fine. I was going to say Citalopram really made a massive difference they really helped me control my anxiety better you just got to give them at least 3 or 4 weeks. I hope your feeling better soon and would definetly give them a try.
