I have GAD and have been taking Citalopram since last November. I thought they were working really well and ive been feeling so much better over the last 3 or 4 weeks, starting to do things that I really had a hard time with like using public transport and being alone for long periods of time, but over the last week ive been having a really hard time sleeping. Its taking me hours to finally fall asleep and then I wake a 5 or 6 in the morning and struggle to get back to sleep. Occasionally I will go and lie on the couch and fall asleep for another hour or so, but more often then not I stay awake. Last night I had an anxiety attack, which I haven't had for about 2 months, and thought I might have a panic attack, but managed to calm myself down. I already burn Lavender oil at night, and when I asked my doctor and my chemist about sleeping pills they both said that they shouldn't be taken with Citalopram. Im really starting to lose it, as you can imagine with the lack of sleep, and its driving me crazy.Im just generally looking for any encouragement/support/tips really, because being alone at night and feeling like that is really awful.
