Since taking 20mg citalopram my bladder feels like it is constantly full and heavy all the time. Go to loo but pee a little. No urine infection. Had that checked. Getting really uptight that I have something sinister going on. Been on citalapram for 6 weeks. Not feeling better anyway. Has anyone had this symptom?
Hi i get that all the time and ive been on them 5 months and if im honest ive only just started to benefit from them.But please stick with it ive suffered from anxiety for three years and very badly at times with me being unable to get off my bed even collecting the kids from school was a major thing.over the past few weeks ive come to the conclusion that tabs alone wasnt going to make me well again ive changed my eating habits totally and always go out walking for a hour a day whatever the weather.Im no longer waiting to get rid of the anxiety has i think it will never go away im now learning to live with it and since ive come to this point ive felt better than i have done in a LONG time.There lots of little things what help me i wont bore u with them if u want detail just ask and please stick with it .oh and has for thinking theres something more sinister wrong with u then dont i spent three years convinced i was haing an heart attack everyday ??????????????? think that is also a symptom of anxiety and depression to be fair xx
Hi Sammy, Thank you so much for your reply. I was getting even more panicked as no-one had replied straight away thinking, I must be the only one who gets this. More worry!!! I have suffered from this illness for many years and after a break from my medication had to go back on it again. This time citlopram. Only been on it for 6 weeks. Can handle the nausea and other little ailments but my anxieties always seem to be health related when I am unwell. As I have not had the bladder thing before and as GP did not seem to relate it to citalopram my mind is going mad!!! Does not help that I am a nurse so perhaps know a little to much. Doesn't bother me when I am well but you know how things become when the depression is not under control. I am so glad that you are feeling better and you are absolutely right in taking things into your control ie diet, walks. From my experience you are on the mend so keep at it. Once the tablets kick in I think we need to take hold of things cos when we are ill we do all the wrong things - I know I do. I am at the staying in bed and getting friends to collect the kids. Just moping and thinking about it. I know in my heart it will improve. I have been here before but does not make it easier at the time. Just one question. Has the bladder thing got better with you or just remained the same? I wish you all the best in your recovery. Contact me anytime. I may be able to return the favour. Lorna. x
hi lorna the bladder thing seems worse in a morning and i do take my tabs in the morning im on 20 mg so not sure if it was related.I m a docs receptionist so again perhaps not the right job when the anxiety is at its worst.a saying always helps me \"stay off the bed during the day\" again i know its not easy x
