Hi,
I have been suffering with anxiety really bad for the last 6 weeks and last week y doctor prescribed me with Citalopram 20mg to take. She advised me it will get worse before it would get better...... My lord it was horrible..
First 2 days brilliant I felt like I was making progress but then the 3rd day I ate pizza and was sick and had a massive panic attack had to call the ambulance out and thought I was literally dying. This then made everything really worse so after that attack the next day I didn't take a tablet couldn't eat or drink anything and I just didn't really hungry and was just lying on the sofa. Day after I thought right get back to fighting this tablet and took a tablet and I felt so horrible in my ringing started to ring, dizziness, weak legs, every time I closed my eyes it felt like my eyes and head were twitching. I decided to stop taking them on Friday all together and spoke to the doctor today and he thinks they were to strong and put me on a old tablet I was on years back which I managed to get off of 3 years ago.
Now I still have slight on and off ringing and when it gets to the evening I had a really bad headache and tension all over my head and was wondering how long does it usually take to recover from the withdrawal because I didn't take a lot but because the dose was strong for my body I'm still suffering a little bit
Any help on this would be brilliant!!!
Thanks
Matt
