Hi all,

I've recently been prescribed Citalopram for the various anxiety type symptoms i'm experiencing. I'm about a week in (although I've been halving the tablets down to 10mg).

Unfortunately, like I always do I've been reading up on possible side effects of taking this medication. One thing i'm really quite worried about is the potential for cit to blunt all emotions and create a state of apathy. Besides the health anxiety i'm a fun loving cheerful person and I just can't risk the possibility of being turned into a numb zombie. Could anyone reassure me this isn't going to happen?

Also, since taking cit i've found myself going about my daily routine almost on auto-pilot. It's almost as though my mind is slightly detached from my body. I'll be walking to work and thinking inside my head how long its taking, things seem almost dreamlike...Is this something that will pass?
