How is everyone doing?

It's been a good while since I even thought about this place because anxiety is a million miles from my mind lately! I never thought I would be able to say that. I'm around 7 months on 10mg and my anxiety is now completely manageable. I still have little flare-ups once a month where I feel a bit overly stressed and emotional for a couple of days but I always know it will pass.
I've had some weight gain since starting on the citalopram but nothing too drastic and I know if I tried I would get rid of it.
I don't know if any of the old people post here still, in a way I hope not because it means they're all feeling better! But if you are it'd be great to hear how you're all getting on x

Hi there. Glad you are well. We have spoke before. I am doing ok. Back to work after a long time off but the cit and prop are really helping. A million miles from where I was 3 months ago. Just a shame work hasn't helped me with my return and I can feel the stress returning. Glad you are doing well.

Hi everyone. Well I'm still here and today marks my 10th week on 20mg. I've been doing OK so far and am now volunteering 2 days per week at Age UK and I find that when I'm at work I don't have time to think about the anxiety which is wonderful! Last week I did 4 days as someone was off sick and I didn't have hardly any anxiety at all, it was like I was back to normal and I forgot about the anxiety completely until I went home!

However the weekend is here and I'm now full of angst again which is awful. It isn't as bad as before but it is lurking there in the background waiting to ambush me. Grrrr!!!

Hey suzie and all, I had upped my cit the last time we were all talking! It sent me a bit crazy so I dropped back down and mumbled on... Went back to docs and they have prescribed me Cymbalta which I start tonight. After 15 years on cit I'm ready to try something else. So glad to hear you're doing great. Oh and I beat the cancer so all good there. Take care.
