[kay1986]

i keep getting these symptoms every other day i get really tired and lathargic along with dull chest pains, aching in my whole body, shakey,breating probs, feels like i can feel my heart beating in my whole body and pains behind my ears!!!!

anyone recognise these symptoms, hate feeling like this, almost to scared to stand up incase i pass out!!!!

Like a head throbbing/beating sensation? Do you get quite dizzy? I remember feeling like this on citalopram.

[kay1986]

yeh its kind of like that, i am on citalapram too, do you think it could be the medication????

[calm]

i am on cit and thankfully i have not had these sensations....although saying that each morning when i awake and the panic takes over my arms become numb but i think its because the meds have not got into my system as yet and its my body reacting to the panic/anxiety.
how long have u been on them....i have been since the 9th july this year....i am hoping that they kick in very soon xxxx
hope it settles down for you very soon xxxx

i have been on cit for around 10 weeks now!!!, butt was on 10mg for 7 weeks and have been on 20mg for the rest of time, but these symptoms come and go i could have a really good couple of days and then all of a sudden they would be back!!!, but im wondering if today it hhas been caused by the fact that i was ment to have a dental appointment so syked myself up cos i dont like the dentist!!!, then got there and found out they had changed my apppointment????

I found citalopram made me feel light headed most of the time, giving me dizzy spells from time to time and I was concerned about standing up too fast too. That head beating/throbbing sensation seems all familiar to me aswell. It is likely to be the meds.

thanks absentia, big help may have to speak to doc about changing meds!!!, did you get tension type head aches as well sometimes???

[absentia]

No, I didn't experience headaches. It is actually very rare for me to get a headache though anyway. I have probably had about 4 or 5 in my lifetime :D

[kay1986]

its not a head ache as such, it just feels like i have a band around my head
