Hello all
I have a horrible form of anxiety where I am just never tired. I feel alert all the time. No longer have any need for caffeine and I canf sleep for long at night.
Can't nap. Can't relax.
I see colours brightly / everything looks too sharp/vivid. Derealization and sometimes panic attacks if I have to go into an appointment (doctors etc)
Some days I get overwhelmed with anxiety and aggitation (especially just before my period) and I stay in bed crying the whole day. Can't look after my kids and have constant thoughts of there is only one way out of this. And cry for my old self and old life. And for my kids.
Had trouble with many meds. Can't get one that doesn't make the anxiety a thousand times worse.
Ive read so many good things about citalopram. Ive been prescribed it once but i couldn't get passed the first day because it literally had me bed bound with sickness. Such awful stomach pain and diarrhoea. I actually felt a lot like I had very bad food poisoning.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same kind of symptoms of anxiety I have. And if citalopram has helped? Does the awful poisoned feeling pass? If I had some childcare in place I think I could try again.
