Hi All,
Wow I just logged back in for the first time in 7 years - honestly my anxiety since going on citalopram was really under control but after a very bad year last year about 3 weeks ago I had a really bad flare up.
I am taking xanax twice a day and have increased from 30mg to 40mg a week ago today - since then I have felt terribly out of sorts and having crying spells and severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts - I havent talked to anyone about citalopram for so long - I am seeing a councillor too , I am wondering if this is normal with the increase and how long does it generally take to go - I am in the ' I will never be normal again' phase and I can't stop crying over it and in great fear.
I have no appetite and I just feel hopeless right now but I am hoping this is a side effect to the increase - can anyone relate to this?
Appreciate any response - it can be very lonely.
Thanks
