can anyone help me through the citalopram start up? Feeling so scared :(

[honeymoonmum]

Hi all

I have done this twice already (started citalopram to anxiety) and know it does pass, but just feeling so anxious and scared I will never feel 'normal' again. Words of reassurance please!!

Hi hariboegg,

Not sure how the medication is effecting you but it's making me soooo anxious (although that might just be my anxiety about starting it!!). I also started three days ago and just CANNOT stop checking myself for symptoms/side effects. It's driving me crazy and making me feel so horrible.

Just called my GP for advice so hoping he might have some ideas on how to get through this first bit.

In the past it has worked brilliantly for my anxiety (not really had depression) but heard it does work for that too, so don'y loose hope!

Hope your day going better than mine....9 month old DS just vomitted everywhere....a tummy bug, last thing I need!!!!!
