I have underlying GAD/ocd and have been under significant stress for years.
Would like to try citalopram again, I took this in the past in late teens and apart from it making me tired (ironically I now have insomnia) I feel it was helpful,
for various reasons and people in my life at the time influencing I came off it. I want to just try 10mg.
I remember when I took it before I didn’t sleep/eat for a time.
Is 10mg to start with likely to give side effects? Or shall I cut it in half? Ideally would still likely to sleep as need to look after my kids.
How long do the initial side effects last at 10mg?
as you can tell I’m really anxious about this and I keep bailing on taking them.
I feel like although I’m confident it will help I’m terrified of one day coming off it again and the backlash of that. But then part of me feels I don’t think I would ever have reason to come off it again as my gad isn’t going anywhere as I’ve had it since a kids.
