Hi can someone please tell me what’s happening to me I went to the doctor last week and he put me on 20mg citrol for my anxiety, ever since I’ve been taken the pills it’s gett worse I feek scared all the time hearing loud ringing noises in my head and humming also I felt detached from the world what is happening to me everything is so dark , and my head and body get weird hot feeling sometimes, I can’t think straight I’m not interested in anything anymore it’s my memory has faded
Hi Jason, I’m sorry your experiencing this. I suggest calling your doctor right away and leave a message in hopes of catching them before the weekend. Your doctor should know whether your side effects indicate that you can continue taking the medicine, or if your reactions are indicative of a medication that is not agreeable with your physiological makeup.
So sorry you are going through this! Will be praying for you! For 5 years I have been facing very bad anxiety. I have been on that type of medications. I have had those same weird hot flash that started in my feet and moved up my legs all the way to my head, tensed up my muscles, and set off a panic attack. My doctor said the medication for anxiety will make it worse before it gets better. That’s why a lot of people quit taking their anxiety meds. I tried a hand full of different types, but chose not to take them anymore because of the hot flashes. Heart palpitations were the cause of my problems so I am taking small doses of a beta blocker.
Thanks for getting back mark, do you think I should stop taking citron because I’m only on them a week and I can’t think straight just bad thoughts and and I just can’t do anything anymore I’m so lazy . I haven 2 daughters and another on the way but I can’t look forward to anything anymore
Thanks for getting back to me Sarah , and I’m only on them a week today I will ring my doctor later on today and hopefully they will give me an appointment. Thank you
I would talk to your doctor. My doc did stop my medication when I went in to tell him about the side effects. Anxiety is a wicked thing! Seems like once it gets in your head you will experience the most scary feelings that will change on you. It is terrible! Hope you can get the right meds.
Do you mean citalopram? I agree with Mark with these drugs. I’m on 10mg of
Citalopram for 5 months. It was not easy the first couple of months. I had many side effects. I even went to 5mg for a period. I wanted to quit and I found this forum and I stayed with it and people helped me. I’m so glad I did I’m back to myself! Hang in there it does get better but slowly. Ask your doctor about going down on the doseage. Keep us posted of how you do.

How long have you been on this drug?
Hi and thanks so much for getting back to me , i was never on medication at all for it . But last friday i went to my GP and he put me on 20mg citalopram i am now taking this 8 days from today and i was in a very bad state realy realy bad . I rang my doctor up yesterday and he described me with diazapan D5 . And i feel alot better and much relaxed
Hi will i am on them 8 days
The diazepam will help you a lot. Cut out caffeine and sugar. Try to excercise like walking is great to help with the anxiety. When do you take it. Morning?
Take with food. On Utube there’s meditation apps and Rebekah Borucki,
She has breathing techniques which are very good to relax you.
Keep me posted of how you are!
