Hi Mr Jitters
Yes, I can't stress the link between not sleeping and anxiety for me. It is so, so clear - if I sleep well, I have a "good" day the next day, if i don't sleep, it is a bad day, absolutely without fail.
My side effects are pretty much zero. Feel a bit zonked out in the mornings, struggle to get out of bed, and have a dry mouth quite a lot, but that's it.
On Citalopram, I just felt 10 times worse - worse than I've ever felt - so I'll willingly take those.
Fingers crossed the move to 75mg brings more improvements!
