Hello all :)
I've been on Cit now for about 4 months and a 40mg dose seems to be the perfect dose for me. I have much more good days than bad and I am improving all the time.
I started to introduce small amounts of alcohol back into my life (due to birthday celebrations/hen nights etc) and seemed to be fine, but I went to a good friend's wedding on Saturday and had a pretty big binge and my anxiety is back this week with a vengeance.
I realise Cit is an anti-depressant and alcohol a depressant, and drinking alcohol defeats the object somewhat of taking Cit, but has anyone found a balance?
Is it likely my anxiety is down to this one binge? Or a build up of drinking small amounts the past couple of weeks? Has anyone had this same problem, and if so how long does the increased anxiety last?
Thanks all :)
