Hi all.
My first time posting on here so hope this is ok.
I have been suffering with anxiety for 3 years now (well all my life but it’s been at it’s worse for 3 years)
I was on citalopram and worked my way up from 10mg to 30mg over 12 months and finally settled with 30mg. Stupidly I felt great whilst on it for 12 months so decided to taper off.
Fast forward 6 months (lockdown has not helped I’m sure) - I’m now feeling back to square one and really upset about it. I’m anxious about going back to normal, anxious about driving, travelling, just general life outside of the house.
Docs have put me back on Citalopram and have been on it for 8 months however I’m finding it’s not working for me this time round and the docs have suggested me taking 40mg. I’m concerned as this is quite high and I’m trying for a baby.
Has anyone else been on 40mg for anxiety and has it worked?
Or do I look to try a different med as presume my body may have got used to being on Cit previously.
Anyone’s comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
E
