Hi i am new to the site although i did stumble across it a couple of years ago when i had my first full blown anxiety/depression episode.
I have just started to take Citalopram again @20mg, having taken them up until xmas. The withdrawral symptoms were not very nice when i came off them even tho i slowly decreased the dose. Having crashed last week and found myself in a total state of panic for three days i saw my GP and am going back on them. Maybe i was lucky the first time but i am a week in and am finding my anxiety is raging. I know what has triggered it again, i have gyne problems and so obviously i am convinced that its gonna be the worst possible outcome...but even understanding anxiety this time isn't helping. The mornings are awful and by the evening my body is so exhusted from all the terrifing thoughts and feelings, that all i want to do is sleep.
Was i just lucky the first time??? is it normal to feel worse at the start and how long does it take for them to kick in???
Thanks Guys
