    muscles!! please help!

    I've been on Citalopram for a few weeks now & all my anxiety symptoms have subsided but my muscles ache constantly & een the slightest activity feels like i've run a marathon.
    Its my arms & legs that just have no strength, the rest of me feels fine.

    Please tell me that others have felt like this, because if it wasn't for my arms & legs I feel like I would be back tomy old self.
    I really am worrying that I have some muscle disease.

    Thanks from a completely panic stricken Maxi x

    Hi Maxi

    I remember I had terrible aches in my legs on Citalopram for the first few weeks - it did wear off but it feels like you have a virus for a while

    hi,

    im not on the same meds as you but i definately have this muscle aching that you talk of.

    if i spend an hour doin something physical then the next day i will really feel it. i think my problem is that ive spent so much time sitting down and trying to relax, its been months since ive really done anythin majorly physical because it always made me feel uncomfortable.
    now my body is just not used to using the muscles as much so physical exhersion takes its toll on them.

    the more you do physically the less your muscles will ache in the long term, its just a case of rebuilding your strength, and with strength comes confidence.

    thanks all flor your replies, i feel like i'm 90. I guess i just have to give it time, I have felt slightly better the last day or so, so maybe it will start getting easier from here.
    Thanks for your kind words
