Hi all! I'm on day 36 of 40 mg of Citalopram. The initial two weeks were AWFUL but I did see slow improvement in my anxiety and a decrease of panic attacks. Although I feel better from when I started I don't feel back to 100% before I had this "relapse". I'm wondering if this is the best Citalopram is going to work for me? Not sure I could continue on if that's the case. Feeling better is amazing but I know I've felt better than this. I still feel very on edge and using Klonopin a least twice a week where at one point I went a whole year without taking one!
Any insight is Greatly appreciated :-)
Stay with it!
Recovery is a slow process that can't be hurried. Stop counting the weeks, try being positive. You have bad days, that's normal.
It takes time!
What's the alternative
You WILL recover and enjoy life again x
Hi, I'm just starting week 9 and I still have wobbles! Don't get me wrong I have really good days more than bad but I like you was beginning to give up hope.
It can take up to 12-16 weeks for full effects I've been told and of course we are all different! I've had great encouragement on here to work with my anxiety and stop counting in weeks.
I still get morning anxiety and rush to the Loo but during the day I'm fine. I think now because I anticipate the morning anxiety it happens. I am in a much better place now but still got a bit to go.
I'd stick with it you can do it x
I am in the same place where you are wondering if it's going to work this time or not. I am trying to stay positive . You should too
