Hello everyone, another newbie.

[lenore]

Hi everyone,

I just came across this forum while searching for info on Citalopram online.

After being on Fluoxetine for 12 years, a psychiatrist has suggested I change to Citalopram to try to conbat the awful anxiety I've been feeling. I've always had it but it's gotten to the point where I'm scared to even take a bin bag out! I'm looking forward to reading everyone's experience of Citalopram in the medication forum, when I'm not so tired and stressed out! (whenever that may be :winks: )

I seem to be able to turn even the smallest, most inconsequential non-problem into a matter of life or death! Aaaargh! I want to go to bed now, but I struggle to do it when I'm not exhausted.

Anyway, I hope to get to know you all and be able to contribute to the forum!

hi lenore, i have been on citalopram for over a week now, i must admit the 1st few days made me feel a bit more anxious with dry mouth but its really helped stop my shaking in public, i also couldnt cry the 1st week, i can now but think its because im only on the lowest dose so maybe my GP will up my dose when i return to visit him in a few days! I was warned against anti depressants by all my friends but im glad iv tried them as they really are helping! Hope you have a good experience on them too x

I thought I'd 'bump' this thread as a re-introduction as I haven't been here since 2009! :doh: Time flies when you're having...erm...obsessional thoughts :roflmao:

The citalopram didn't work out for me so I've been on Fluoxetine again since the end of 2009. I'm about to start taking Clomipramine on top of the fluoxetine to get this anxiety/pure o/ocd/whatever it is under control. Hopefully this time I'll stick around and not get distracted by shiny things :D
