Welcome Mark,
Your in good company my friend...... we cant spell either!!
Hope you get as much support and comfort from this site as I have in the short time Ive been a member.
Re the meds, all I can say is dont be afraid to change (with guidence and permission of doc of course!) I couldnt get on with citalopram so changed to Sertraline...... no difference despite dose increase. All I ever got from them both was terrible anxiety side effects! Something i could well do without!
Im now changed to Floxetine (good old prozac) and have never felt better!

Keep plugging away mate, we'll all get there eventually!

Andy.

:) Hi Mark :)

Welcome to the site - Plenty of people here can relate (Not just about the poor spelling!) & there's a section for discussing medication which you might find helpful (Personally, I haven't found any that have helped; just made it worse; but a lot of people on here swear by them) Maybe not just focus on getting the medication right though; focus on getting to the root cause of the anxiety - Are you seeing a therapist/working through a CBT course? Also sections on here that can help with that. Good luck with it all,
Take care, CarpeDiem

Hello Mark :welcome:to you!

Spelling's the least of our problems here so don't worry lol !!

Hopefully the increased dose of Citalopram will make a difference for you - I started almost immediately on 60mg, and never looked back!

I'm sure you will receive and give plenty of help and support here - pleased to meet you!
