Citalopram Day 6 - Slight improvement

[miles200]

Hey all!

So Day 6 of Citalopram, went to bed at midnight and woke up at 0830 this morning. Pretty sure I slept all the way through and woke up feeling more "awake" than usual! Still have the nausea and anxiety (knot in the stomach) but positive as feeling that awake feeling I haven't felt in a long time.

Let's hope I don't go back down hill again.

Hi Miles
I have been on Cit for 3 months and from my experience you have done the toughest part. You may have the odd bad day from now on but this should be far outweighed by the good ones.
Well done on getting through the first week, it will be worth it!

You posts have made me feel abit more positive about starting cit again...

I tired it in the past but the dr gave me a script for 40mg which I shouldnt have been given... I had horrible side effects so was scared when the dr added cit in with my mirt. I will be starting to take 15mg of cit tonight and feeling a little less scared now thank you miles

Aw that's ok! I'm not feeling a huge improvement yet but this morning was enough to keep me going. It is only day 6 after all. My DR put me on 10mg for now and wanted to see me in 2 weeks from the day I started taking it.

Think she may put me up to 20mg as I think that is the normal dose after your body adjusts to 10mg.

40mg sounds HUGE to go straight on to no wonder you had nasty side effects!!

Good luck, take care.

Yay I love KFC - I haven't had one for quite a while though! If I'm feeling down, I often start to feel a bit better once I've eaten, so hopefully it will be the same for you too.
