Been taking citalopram only 3 days- can’t persevere- feel horrendous. Have called the GP and she said to stop immediately. I know lots feel better after a few weeks but can’t put myself through this- sickness and panic attacks, feeling completely out of it, shaking and cold sweats. Would love to hear recommendations for alternatives: meds or natural therapies. I have tried hypnotherapy which didn’t help.
Bit of context: Have a long term chronic health condition which is usually managed but got quite ill all last year which coincided with a bereavement and obvs the pandemic etc. Even though I got better and condition now managed again I seemed to develop a lot of anxiety when leaving the house- travelling even on short journeys- feeling unsafe, trapped etc, don’t feel I can take up invitations or do a lot of the things I would usually. Any advice gratefully received!
