Hi Jennifer
I am in the middle of Christ therapy but have had to stop as my doctor wants to get my medication working first. I was on citralopram for years but stopped them as they were not helping me anymore, that's why my meds have been changed to sertraline. I have been on them for 3 weeks but only increased my dose
to 50mg 10 days ago and my heart is racing all the time. Have you stopped taking citralopram now?
Only took 1 citalopram and ended up in hospital cos my heart was almost jumping out of,my chest. Hospvadvised me not toi take any more. Gp then gave me Prozac and mirtazapine. Too frightened to take them at all. Just dont take anything anymore.
So how are you coping with nothing can you manage day to day activities?
I manage but I'm probably in a different situation to you. I'm retired so dont hav to work and my husband does most things for me. I had a couple of panic attacks w week back and before that ended up in hosp 5 times in a weekend thru panic attacks. Used to take a quarter oxacepam if I felt edgy but found that I didnt.like being out of control and spaced out all the time. My panic attacks ate probably caused by tge meds for my hep c. Good luck
Hi All,
I have deleted the post re cannabis by Garry as he has been spamming throughout the forums.
