Hi all
I’ve just recently joined this forum and it seems super supportive and helpful. This is day 4 of restarting citalopram after 8 months off it as the anxiety and depression came back. I’ve done 2 days of 5mg and 2 days of 10. Anxiety through the roof tonight. Was bad this morning and then got a bit better but this evening and tonight (it’s 2.30am) it’s been terrible with lots of mini panic attacks, weird burning sensation down arms and across chest and head and now trembling. I don’t remember it being this bad last time. I’m going to go and see the doctor tomorrow about it to check that it’s normal and that I shouldn’t stop. I was feeling anxious before I started it but not having panic attacks - it’s really awful. I have some lorazepam but feeling too scared to take it. Can you reassure me that this it’s normal for it to be this bad initially?
Thanks so much
