After having anxiety for years and trying self help I made an appointment to see my gp. I saw him this morning and he says its panic attacks.Hes prescribed citalopram 20mg a day. I told him that Id been given prozac 2 years ago but had only taken about 3 as they gave me diarrohea and a strange feeling. He said in view of that to take 10mg for 2 weeks and then increase to 20mg.
I asked about cbt,he said there is a waiting list of a year in this area! Ive signed up for a free cbt course online which I intend to start soon.
I was so scared sitting waiting to see him but feel better now Ive managed to explain whats been happening to me. I'm about to take my first tablet and praying that they work for me. Anyone had good results on citalopram?
