I have suffered with anxiety and depression on and off over the last 14mths following a stressful year, stomach virus and then gastritis which am sure was linked to my dd been really poorly although at the time I didn't see the connection.
I did have a few months of feeling ok, but since August/Sept have had on-going stomach issues during the night and early morning, waking feeling nauseous with an irritated stomach, this can happen several times in one night, leaving me exhausted and with insomnia as I dread going to bed. It effects my work as I am so tired and worry about losing my job. I have restarted lansoprazole and hoping this will start having an effect soon.
I have recently changed Dr's and the new one suggested trying citalopram, the first Dr to acknowledge any of this may be linked to stress. My worry is that on reading the side effects, one of them is nausea - can anyone who's been on it explain if it actually irritates the stomach or is it more of a head nausea dizziness type of feeling? I am torn between wanting to try it and scared it might irritate my stomach even more. I am going back to see my GP next week so want to make a decision by then.
