been on citolopram now for 9 days feel worse than ever my anxiety is through the roof. Is this normal
Hi Lisa I was on it for about 6 days my anxiety was so bad.. was given me panick attacks after panick attack.. i stopped taking it!! Felt horrendous x
Hey Lisa I was on 10mg for nearly 3wks n just upped my dose to 20mg 3 days ago and I feel so anxious shakey n wierd it's unreal feeling disparate I can't do n e thing it's so debilitating I cantell eat sleep or enjoy life my head feels wierd my eyes wont focus you name it I feel it I just wanted my life back 
so I'm too hoping it gets better, what mg are you on and what's ur symptoms coz I feel so alone x
I am on 20 mg. I feel desperate want someone to just make me better. Can't cope with life can't eat, sleep I am shaky and hot sweats.
read so much about trying to stick it out, going to see doctor in the morning.
U sound alot like me it's bad ain't it, add me on Facebook if you want hun, Emma mcluckie profile pic is of me I've got blonde hair
Thanks I will, it is just so hard with family life. You have to get on with it even though you just want to curl up in a ball. My other main problem is the not eating and I am a diabetic so not good at all.
I feel mentally crippled I just want to feel better, n like u it's hard with my family life my husband don't understand and gets frustrated so I have to try act normal around him and my children which is so hard x
yes because it will take a while for the drug to enter and control your body's symptoms. You will feel a lot better soon.

It will take time, it took 6 weeks of major anxiety on it until I improved.
Ride it out and you will see the benefits like I did last year made feel feel human again.
I hope so it is a bit frightening to feel like this. Had Cit before and never had this affect.
Good to hear it helped you, I will hang in.
If you have been on it before over a long period of time then your body may have become used to it and so it will not be as effective for you as the first time you were on citolopram

Maybe, going to see doc in the morning, went to work last week, but think I may struggle this week. I hope it is just working its way into my system.
hope you feel better in a few days lisa

Been back to the docs this morning and has prescribed me Propranolol to take to try and ease my anxious feelings on a morning as I felt I could not cope when I first wake up, I say wake up I am hardly sleeping. Will keep you posted
Hey Lisa I feel pretty horrendous right now my head is Spinny I have a horrible nervousness in the pit of my stomach and chest feel totally in dispare do you ever get any rest from it?
Mornings are worse, I feel so anxious to the point if panic. It eases towards the afternoon. Then the cycle starts again the next day. Doc says it will just take time for Cit to start to work. Took my first Propranolol this morning to see if this will help short term until Cit starts to work. So fingered crossed x
Yeah mine eases in afternoon to but starts again in morning it's horrible it affects how I think and feel too, what does the propranolol do?
It takes the edge of my anxiety . Hope it works have taken one and do feel a bit calmer it goes in system straight away. Do not need to take it all the time, just when I feel the need. Once the Cit kicks in I may not need it. Off work today and will see how I go. 😔
