hi, just taken my 1st dose of citalopram half an hour ago and feeling extremely strange and panicky. i was px 20mg, but after dithering around for 2 weeks cut 1 in half and swallowed.....
probably had intermittant depression for years. but recently went to the dr`s with probable menopause symptoms and generally feeling really crap and tired. very sympathetic lady, no lectures, referred me for some blood tests and got me to fill in one of those depression check lists.gave me a script for cit.
anyway got my bloods done -she ordered loads and loads. really freaked me out. went back last week, most of the results were ok.but sodium was out (gotta go back 2morrow for repeat)cholesterol was high and my blood pressures up a bit, though when i check it in work its ok!!!!
well all this has sent my anxiety sky high. already started a low fat/cal diet in anticipation of the results and had lost 7lbs, by the time i went back. just gone cold turkey with the fags. no terrible cravings, but physically feeling very unwell. so back to the gp -felt like motor mouth, she gave me some propanolol. had them before so didnt worry quite so much, but within half hour felt dizzy and spent the next hour on the loo wondering whether i would make it to work, lol.i must say i do have some genuine medical problems following cholycystectomy 4 yrs ago.
so i bit the bullet and started the pills.got to be worth a try.anyway thanks for reading(hopefully). good to get everything out
ps can i take co -codamol -500/8 with citalopram xx
