View Full Version : Huge set back:-(
Hello evryone been on 10mgs citalopram for 2 months now, i dont no why but didnt sleep at all well last night and this morning woke up in a complete state. feel so anxious keep retching and cant eat i hate this so much. Docs again tom i dont know what to do. Anyone else felt like this xx
it may not be the medication, you may have this virus going round my daughter was throwing up this morning but love her still gone to school. Hope you are feeling a little better now x
I have not been on citalopram but I do know that anxiety can make me retch constantly. Maybe you just need to increase your dose to get the anxiety back under control and I am sure the doctor will be able to tell you tomorrow.
In the mean time is there some you can spend time with just to help you through today. I know it isn't easy and tomorrow must seem a long way off but having someone around and talking to people can help. :hugs:
I agree with erin31, if you can have someone with you to help while you're not feeling well that would definitely help. You will have good and bad days still, I have been on citalopram for 2 months now and still have a few side effects every now and then.
I hope you feel better soon!
Hello thanks for all your messages my 3 yr old is at nursury so trying to relax,still feel really bad and cant eat. I am hoping the doctor will prescribe me something till i move up to 20mgs she allready gave me diazpam 2mgs a while ago . So scared to ask for some more as i know will not prescribe more to me. Has anyone been prescribed anything else as a temp measure, i did try beta blockers but they dont help. Many thanks in advance xx
Hi Tina.
I have also use diazepam as a temporary measure and still fall back on it in really bad times. I always make sure I have some just in case although I find I can usually manage without it.
I'm not sure why she won't prescribe you any more if it helped you?
Can you speak to her on the phone today and ask? I know you have an appointment tomorrow but sometime we need help and advice sooner rather then later.
:hugs:
Hello i have tried ringing but shes not the duty doctor and i need to speak to her really. When i feel like this i guess i just panic. When i feel to anxious and to eat i worry so much as i am slim anyway the pounds drop off. Oh well im hoping this improves tomorrow. Hopefully my doctor will be understanding xx
Please let us know how you get on tomorrow Tina :hugs:
hey everyone just an update doctors was really good, she said its just a setback. Anyway has given me some diazpam until citalopram starts kicking in thanks for all your messages. I hope to be eating again x
I'm glad it went well, was the 10mg working before the last set back?
Hey well i felt better after the side effects had gone then 3 days ago i got a tummy ache and it set it all off again, sounds silly i know but ive been moved up to 20mg now. 10mgs wernt strong enough for me. I just think sometimes i will never stop feeling like this On the mend soon i hope. xx
hi Tina
sorry to hear you've had some difficult days...believe me i have had my fair share of those!
i am currently on day 70 of Citalopram [initially 20mg but last 2 wks 30mg]. my last 'blip' was exactly 3 weeks ago - at the lead up to my period, which other ladies have agreed that this causes setbacks too.
i honestly never truly believed i would get to the other side, but am tentatively positive about my outlook now.
yes there are moments of panic, and feeling disengaged from everyone/everything [and memory loss which worries me too!] BUT i do feel a bit more like myself!
this only started to happen properly after about 8 wks and NOT what the leaflet/my GP said. [they stated that 1-3wks i should see an improvement...yeah right!!
anyway please try and persevere.
this fab site gave me hope and assured me to continue and i am glad i did.
take care x
:yesyes: Good to hear. You sound a lot more positive today.
