:ohmy: I am due to go on holiday in about 8 weeks time and because I had panic attacks last time I had to go on holiday, I decided to go back on Citalopram 10ml. So my doctor gave me the prescription and i started them on Wednesday.

Well I had a full blown attack yesterday:weep:

Has anyone else found that when they've used medication it makes the attacks actually happen to start with? the leaflet with the tablet says that it can happen but I wondered if anyone has experienced this and will it settle down. If not i'm thinking of going for Psychotherapy if needs be.

Any ideas? I woke up this morning at about 5.45 with slight attack feelings but right now I'm holding it together for going to work.

many thanks

Hi

When I took citralopram they made me worse for 1 day but I had to come off them as they did noit suit me. Give them a few more days and they may help.

Hi Sharona thanks for your reply.

May I ask why Citalopram didn't suit you ultimately. If you don't want to tell me I don't mind or if you would prefer to pm me?

Thank you
