Hi I recently got prescribed citalopram at 10mg as I have anxiety, this mostly shows it self as health anxiety but I'm generally an anxious and worrying type of person.

I'm on my 6th day and feel horrid on the meds, my mood is constantly changing one minuet I feel like I don't care about any one or anything the next I'm back to my anxious self convincing my self I have cancer again... It really is like a roller coaster. I never did have issues with my mood until now I can't be bothers doing anything I've stopped going to the gym which was something I loved only a week ago.

I'm also having problems at work although this May be down to my ass of a boss who doesn't understand how any one could be depressed or anxious.

Has any one had bad experiences on meds before ? I'm contemplating ringing in to say I can't go in work today if never taken a sick day in two years..

Hi Piesanfries, try and give the meds time if you can :D

They'll help you soon :)

When I started on meds I was struggling but after a month or 2 I felt much better, less anxious.

It gets better over time I promise:hugs:
