As some of you know I am very sensitive to meds so taking cit in liquid form and stared at only 1mg (.5ml)..I finally made it to 2.5ml (5mg)..I am so dizzy, and feel like I am vibrating. I don't know how to describe it. It is like I am buzzing, like low current electricity going thru my body. I am taking it in 2 doses, one after breakfast and one after lunch. The nausea is somewhat better, but my body is electrified, and not in a good way..I wake up still in a panic with butterflies in my stomach..I am not seeing any improvement yet, just feeling really bad. My doc has me also taking .5 lorazapam twice a day, which doesn't do much and now I am freaking out about the withdrawls of getting off the lorazapam. Right now it is not fun being me...thanks..debbie

Well done getting to 5mgs.......don't worry about the lorazepam...as we have said before it's only temporary.

Hi Sarah..I know you tirated up slow also..Did you have this weird buzzing sensation,nervousness and dizziness?? When did you start to feel any improvement..It is 3 /12 weeks now, today will be my 4th day at 5mg...I have such a feeling of fear of not getting any better...Thanks for listening..debbie

Yes a little nervous and dizziness....I still think you should give it longer.... perhaps stay at 5mgs for a couple of weeks and keep taking the lorazepam. The dose you are taking is very small...:)


......I can't remember...have you looked into pregabalin?

No..I don't know what pregablin is?? When did you start to feel improvement with the cit..I won't give up yet..I know I should give it at least 6-8 weeks. Just want to know I am on the right track..thanks.

pegabalin can be taken with Citalopram...... have a look on this forum under "medication"
