Scared. 2 weeks in on citalopram and anxiety kicking off

Two weeks on 10mg and today I actually feel the worst I have done. Panic attacks feel as though they are swamping me and I feel like I can’t breathe and I feel all fuzzy. I keep waking up from sleep with nerves, racing mind,  racing heart and scared thoughts. I.e I’m never going to be better, I can’t cope etc. I’m trying to stay calm but it’s hard. 

I’ve taken citalopram twice before. I get to a point where I feel good and think this being happy lark is easy. So I come off and slowly but surely anxiety and depression creep back and I have to start all over again. I’ve been in bed the best part of two weeks.... 

Yesterday I felt I had turned a corner and today I am the worst. I feel awful 😩 I’m so scared and frightened. 

Just looking for comfort. Please help xx

You know you can stay on this med forever. I hope you realize that..take care

Think that might have to be what’s right for me!! 

Doing this every year is exhausting and never gets easier. 

Thank you for responding it means a lot x

No problem ..I have suffered with anxiety for three decades never in a million years I thought I recover on celexa..I would never want to return to those dreadful feelings ever again..too much to handle without meds...so I say yes to celexa.. always here to help...

Awh I’m sorry to hear that!!! It is the worst!!! 

I feel too scared to sleep right now for the lurking panic attack and uneasiness

Are you up based? 

How are you doing?  X

It took me 8months to recover on celexa..and I feel very well..but prior to celexa I was a mess..and I recovered on ten milligrams....don't understand your question about based?
