I’m on Citalopram for anxiety, recently anxiety’s really spiked, I’m 50 so poss menopause, I’m constantly analysing how i feel, and I have a really foggy head some days, I would love to wake up feeling ‘normal’. I’m gonna try camomile tea, & supplements. Don’t wanna up Citalopram , only as last resort cos of side effects, been prescribed HRT, but again paranoid about side effects. Trying to carry on as normal but In my head is turmoil.
This is excactly how I feel at the moment. My body physical gets things done but my brain is telling me no and that it's pointless because I'm faking it. Hope that makes sense?
How long have you been on the citalopram?
Few years now, 30 mg, I seem to be sensitive to side effects, it works well once it’s in system but it’s whether I can put up with side effects for few weeks,if I up it. but I feel like crap at mo anyway, so might just go for it after xmas, I’m really trying self help, but sometimes just want to feel ‘normal’ quickly, thanks for replying.

Generally when we start new medications we notice side effects, this is sometimes normal I always give time for the medication to settle in my body although if something gives severe side effects you can check up the problems on the instruction sheet that comes with the drug.
Talk to your GP when uncertain, although you need to remember your GP is in partnership with you when it comes to your health concerns
