Emotional?

[Goggy]

Hi guys :) I hope everyone is alright

Was just wondering if being very emotional is normal into week 6 of an up dosage?
The whole of this week I have cried more than I have in my life and it's just about random stuff that I used to be able to handle :(
Can't wait to feel normal cause this sucks !

I spent the better part of a week crying on Cipralex which is similar to Citalopram. I believe it was around the same time as you. Somewhere between 6 and weeks. After that very tearful week, my mood lifted and things got increasingly better overall. A few blips here and there but overall so much better.

Hang in there and as far as I'm concerned, if you feel like crying, do it. Better out than in!

I'm in week 7 on cit and feeling really low and emotional - though am having a strange experience of feeling really tearful but unable to cry. Was much better last week - it feels a bit like two steps forward one step back. But it is all bearable, and my partner has reminded me that compared to how I was before starting citalopram it's nothing! Hopefully it will pass, hang in there and keep thinking tomorrow is another day, next week is a new week, and it will get better.

Hi Goggy

Yes this is just part of the side effects, it should settle down soon but keep in touch with your gp during this time so that they can monitor you. Take things a day at a time.
