Citrolapram 15 days in, woke upset panicky

[Yorkman]

Hi, posted on citrolapram forum aswell, but I need advice please!!!!!
Been on 20mg cit for 15 days now with no side affects. Yesterday i worked a nightshift and felt ok normal . I got in at 7am feeling ok and went to sleep. Then I woke at 10am very panicky and upset. Took me half an hour to calm down. I haven't been like this for a few weeks and it's one of the reasons I went to the doctors.
I just feel I'm back to square one again??? And I'm doubting if this is the correct medication now.
Has anyone else had similar experiences. I feel like I've wasted the last 2 weeks taking cit???
Feel confused, I just want to feel ok again.
I'm back at the doctors on later in the week for a review.

Hi yorkman I have said many times on here it does get worse before it gets better. I am taking diazipam for 2 weeks to help me. And mornings for me are the pits I hate it, because as the day goes by I start feeling myself then when the morning comes and I am back to normal fear panic. But this is the habit of anxiety and depression it tries its best to not let you forget. I hate it sooooooo much. Just keep going like me.

Thanks, is it even normal after 2 weeks of no side affects from citrolapram ?
I thought I wasnt doing too bad with no side affects , then bang out if the blue it knocked me for six this morning. Maybe only 2 hours sleep didn't help.
The last few mornings have been a struggle but nothing Like today. It was just like before.
Thanks for the support everyone!

Cathycrumble do you take citrolapram? Or antidepressants.
I dread waking up , I'm always bad. Today probably the worst I've been

Hi Yes, I take Citalopram which is an antidepressent and yes i have felt good then wham side affects come on but thy do die down. My big problem is the mornings but i was like this when I was not on any medication I just keep worrying about blood pressure as after a horrible year i got bp I just got to accept it as its ok now but I am in the habit of be negative. And my nerves has got the better of me for now. Just do the same as me and keep taking them.

Had no headaches, no side affects at all. Cathy do you get many good days.I've forgotten what it's like to be the old me.
How long have you been on citrolapram ?

[cathycrumble]

Well I started them last september and about christmas I started slowly to get me back and by easter i was bril BUT I stoped them thought i could do with out them WRONG and i just stopped them cold turkey. anyway i am back on them 8 weeks now and I am feeling a tweeny bit better so fingers crossed and I am trying to think positive mornings are not good but getting better and my jaw clenching seems to be getting better. Just stick with them like me I am on 40mgs now been on that amount for 4 weeks.
