I’ve been taking citalopram for 5 days now and the mornings are dreadful. I feel like im having full on panic attacks, trembling, sweating, darent go out… does it get better or should i stop taking them? Have been waiting 3 days for my GP to ring me?
Since morning anxiety is a reaction to excess stress and worries, there are several potential causes that may contribute to your symptoms. The “stress hormone” cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to fear or stress. … This helps explain why you may experience an increase in anxiety in the morning.
Totally normal start up side effects. Most of us go through the same thing. You will get passed it. Mornings seem to be the worst. So just be patient, try to relax, and it will pass.
thank you. I’ m totally new to this and have been prescribed it to help with symptoms of an overactive thyroid. Hoping this morning panic will go away?
It will, just takes a bit.
