citalopram for my anxiety

[bear28]

Putting a fresh thread up as the ones about this are from quite a few years ago.

I have been prescribed citalopram from the doctors and pick it up tomorrow. What should I expect with this medication?

I have looked online but I would be interested to know personal experiences.

I am going on a low dose which is meant to help with my anxiety. This is the only option of medication for me as I tried Porpranolol for my migraines and had severe side effects.

Also if anyone has any advise about being on this medication I would really appreciate it.

Thank you ever so much for the reply.

I am waiting for the psychiatrist report (hopefully today) but in it he says that a new line manager maybe something that my work could look into. He can't tell them but can suggest it. They have never done it before and I know they have been very stubborn in the past when people have been bullied. I guess they don't want to admit it is happening.

I could quit work but I am really worried about being home alone (even though I am at the moment) until my DP retires which is quite some time. If they give me a new line manager then things might improve.

I purchased the head space app yesterday and I am hopeful.

I did not sleep last night as I was worried that I should be taking the AD.

Honestly I appreciate your kind replies and I realise that I paralysed myself with this decision.

Thank you x

How are you doing Moghub?
