If you can find some of my recent posts. it will tell you what i did by self medicating with citalopram!!! BIG MISTAKE!!!!!
im now on 20mg per day and its taken almost 4 weeks for my anxiety to get anywhere near a managable level, where im not crying or in distress..but that was because of the stupidly high dose id given myself.
ive definately still got some side effects that i dont like from the dose of 20mg but, i can see a light at the end of the tunnel now ..thanks to everyone and their support on here too!!!!:)
