First off I am emetophobic and nausea is a big deal to me. I have been getting constant bad nausea for a few months now. At first I think it was were I started the pill (at the beginning of oct) and I also went back on citalopram after decreasing to TTC (that's put on hold for the moment and I am 100% not pregnant). But it keeps coming and going and is worse when I'm at work. The citalopram has messed up my appetite and I feel a tiny bit nauseous looking or thinking of food. But I'm not as bad when I'm at home.
On the 25th oct I upped my cit to 15mg. I then felt really sick three days later. However, I think it was made worse as there was a stomach bug going round work and I thought that was what was wrong with me. I had terrible panic attacks all that week.
I was doing well and was back at work. Last week I made the trip up to our London office which is something that causes me a lot of anxiety. I couldn't eat whilst there and then the nausea got really intense again. I upped my cit to 20mg then as I felt sick anyway. My panic has increased and I'm getting nausea again but I'm not sure it's a real side effect as when I'm forced to eat I can. I just don't fancy food.
I have a hard time working out if I'm actually nauseous or not. It's often a weird feeling in my throat and it's like my head doesn't fancy food but I don't get the nausea in my stomach.
Also, can anxiety make nausea so strong you feel you will actually be sick?
