I tried Citalopram 20mg for 12 weeks in the summer... It nearly brought me to my knees... My anxiety wen through the roof and I stayed on it as long as I could. That was switched to Sertraline.... After 2 days of horrendous side effects I stopped that. I decided that SSRIs are not for me and went though a bit of a low period after quitting them but then felt quite positive that I can recover with CBT ( which I am doing) and without worrying about having all the restrictions and effects of medication.
Now I seem to be getting vey low and depressed on top of some fairly constant anxiety (GAD).
I really got bad last night, waking at 2 am with anxiety and getting no better throughout the night. It feels like it is getting very bad again. The negative thought that I am getting worse is not helping, but I just cannot think positively today.
I tried to get a GP appointment but no luck, but I am not sure what the GP could offer. I feel pretty desperate and I fear escalation of treatment. If I ended up in hospital, I don't think I could ever face people again... Nobody knows apart from my immediate family.
Maybe this is just a bad day... Maybe it will pass..
Or maybe I need some help.
I don't know....
