Hi all,
First time posting here. I've been prescribed citalopram to help treat depression and anxiety related issues. I started on 20mg each morning. I've always been quite anxious, but that developed into panic attacks about five months ago. That eventually led to constant and quite scary states of anxiety and depression which I'm currently dealing with now through a mixture of CBT, mindfulness, medication and a super-healthy lifestyle :)
Things are going pretty well at the moment, but I have a few questions about the citalopram. I've noticed a really big improvement in my mood and anxiety over days 11 and 12, however today on day 13 I've woken up with a very low mood. It's not bothering me too much though, as I've been pretty lucky with side effects! Is it normal to be feeling improvements after only two weeks? Also, has anyone else developed quite a sensitivity to sugar on citalopram? I've noticed that when I have a can of lemonade or a cookie (a very rare treat these days :weep:) I get very nauseous and my mood changes sharply.
I'm looking forward to posting on this site - it seems to be a nice community of people who want to help each other out. :D
