Hi. After tryting to fight for 6 months with anxiety, having up and downs, cat scans, blood tests. Which came to be all normal.I have health anxiety and always thinking that something bad is going to happen or that Im dying. I went to the doctor today that precribed Citalopram 20 mg, after googling about it before taking I felt scared, reading about people having suicidal thoughts and trying to hurt others. Usually I dont have side effects to medication, but after reading all this things I can say Im a bit scared.I and Its the first time that Im going on this kind of medication .The doctor said I could feel sick in the stomach for a couple of weeks and maybe having a high anxiety before the medication starts to kick in, but this only happen to 1 out of 10 people who takes it. I'm 23 years old and I'm really scared to start taking it. It's being a while that I dont have panic attacks, but Im always worried and thinking something bad is about to happen. Does it make u put on weight? Cause i put a stone since i started to have anxiety, and it makes my self esteem very low, and my confidence is almost zero. Do anyone that take this medication would recommend it? Thanks
