Se sentir mal le matin

Traitement et médication
1

I’ve noticed that when I wake up and throughout the morning, I feel really dreadful. I have this really numb/anxiety feeling in the chest, and it makes me feel super detached. I don’t feel myself, don’t feel any emotion or motivation.

I’m on Citalopram 20mg and have been for about 8 weeks now. Are the antidepressants causing this feeling? It feels awful, and I really have to push myself to be like, “No I’m okay and it’s all in my head.” It gets better throughout the day, and if I work or make plans, I manage through them, but I still feel somewhat detached and feel quite emotionless. I hate the feeling, because I used to feel so much.

Does anyone have any advice on how to control this horrid morning feeling, or if anyone has experienced this on Citalopram, does it go away? I feel like I’ve just lost positivity for everything.

hi cookiie,
I started on 20mg back in January and this is definitely one of the side effects I had. I originally got on the med because of terrible health anxiety. I live in constant fear of cancer.
at first the 20mg seemed to work wonders but then I started experiencing a ton of side effects in my guts and what not. seemed to make my anxiety worse after a while, plus I had zero emotion even when it did seem to control my anxiety.
I dropped down to 10mg and it also worked wonders for a while. I felt like me again. over the past week or so though I have seen a big return in the anxiety as well as the disconnect feelings. kind of numb to a lot of things it seems. I wish I knew the answer, but unfortunately I’m learning as I go as well.
