Will citalopram help?

[onelastchance]

Been feeling quite low and anxious the last few days. having probles with dh but hopefully we're dealing with it

My mind is just full of it al, constant thinking about whether he'll do what he agreed, feeling on edge whrn he's dong things (even the ironing!) because he's said he'll hooever today and hasb't doesn it yet. I can't do much atm as have broken ankle.

I took citalopram for a while and i think it may have reduced unwanted thoughts in my head.. i'm not sure. is this anxiety or is this "just how life feels" I want dh and i to get better but he hates my constant quetioning ( i hate it too ). I startd 10mg of citaloram again a couple of days ago, will this help? or would something ele be better?

I think Citalopram will take a little while to start to take effect, tbh. I'm not sure you'd be able to get anything that would work immediately (like diazepam for example) unless you were quite seriously depressed but it may be worth speaking with your GP in case...

Like BelleDame says it can take a little while for Citalopram to kick in. I never got along with it, in fact it took me around 5 different types before I found one that seemed to work for me. I'm currently on Venlafaxine. Diazepam is ok for an interim - but some gps are adverse to prescribing it as it can be so addictive. I became reliant on it to the point that I couldn't function without it on a daily basis and had to be weened off it. The gp may prescribe a small dose like 1mg just to get you through the next few weeks whilst citalopram starts to take effect.
