hi emmalouise,

Welcome to NMP.

you will find lots of useful info, advice and support here.

A feeling that you are having difficult breathing is a distressing symptom. Have you tried diaphramatic breathing? It's whereby you breath in through your nose slowly (saw count to 4 or 5 as you do it), as you breathe in expand your abdomen and not your chest. Once you have breathed in, hold for a few seconds, then breathe out slowly while counting to 5 or 6 (deflating your abdomen area. Repeat several times, until you feel calmer. I hope I 've explained if clearly... i find it really helps me.

Hi Emmalouise,

Citalopram did that to me, both the eating and sleeping. Eating settled down quite quickly and the sleeping had pretty much sorted itself by 3 weeks in. It imroved all the time tho, don't think you won't sleep for 3 weeks!!
