Hi
After I multitude of stressful life events my poor old body has demanded some rest and I crashed with huge anxiety problems. My very supportive gp started me on Citalopram and I am waiting for some counselling. I started reluctantly on the medication as I like to avoid medicines usually but I really need a lift. The side effects have been pretty gruesome. ..nausea and vomiting shakiness no appetite and the weirdness. However the anxiety was huge over the first few days then improved only to return and hang around all day yesterday. I have to say, today it feels a little better but I just wondered how others have felt ? I take it at night as it really seems to help me sleep.
The other thing I have noticed is that I cannot really stay focused on a conversation with others at the moment.
Would love to hear some positive stories as I have taken the plunge and desperately want to feel better and enjoy life
Thanks so much
