Extreme anxiety

I’m on 30mg Citalopram, usually works fine, but after stressful events at home , anxiety is sky high, horrible panic attacks, loss of appetite , insomnia . Constant overthinking about how I’m feeling. 

Give it a week - hopefully events will settle down and things will go back to normal.

Hi Claire, I am so sorry you are having a difficult time. Is there anything you would like to talk about? Do you know how to calm yourself? Distraction is a good one. Watch TV, write in a journal, clean the bathroom...anything to get your mind off the situation. Talking on here is a great first step. We are here for you and we understand anxiety.

Hello Claire, so sorry for what you are going through. I would say go back to your physician and see if they can change the dosage or change the meds. Try not to stress. I know easier said th an done but we are the gatekeepers of our body. Do your research on anxiety and all drugs prescribed. Perhaps there are other things you can look into. I hope you feel better. Have faith lovey

You need to learn how to relax before sleep, Try Mindfulness Relaxation Technique, Breathing Techniques can also help you as well.

If you are having stressful times at work try and arrange a place to go where you can relax before sleep, never argue before sleep you need to calm yourself before sleep
