Increased Anxiety and Citalopram

Hi All,

Experiencing postpartum anxiety and insomnia.

Day 14 on Citalopram and I'm having increased anxiety. When does this go away? I'm on Trazodone and Lorazepam as needed but the Trazedone doesn't seem as effective when my anxiety is high. I don't like taking the Lorazepam... I'm scared of getting addicted to it.

Is there a light at the end of this tunnel? Have any other sleep aids worked better for you?

Sorry to hear this but it gets worse better it gets better.hang in there it does get better

Trazadone did not work for me but ziplocone did..

yes… there is a light at the end of the tunnel. IT takes 4-6 weeks at a minimum. I TOOK LORAZAPAM during that time and it really helped until the citalopram kicked in. I had PPD too. I was cautious with it but I needed it otherwise I would have panick attacks.
Don’t worry, try to rest and know that each day is getting you closer. My mom made me get dressed everyday and walk down to the corner and eat. IT was sooo hard, but it helped.
