Hi on tues i will have been taken citalopram for 4 weeks, 1 week on 10mg, then went to 20 and last 2 days took 25mg trying to get to 30mg which i was stable on last time! side effects didn't kick in properly untill i was on day 3 or 4 of taking 20mg then i had extreme heightened anxiety this accompanied with a kidney infection really knocked me for 6!! still recovering from my infection will have been on 2 weeks of antibiotics come tomo!! some days im not too bad and feel like im getting there but mornings r my worst i wake up with really restless legs and lately ive been retching when i get up, my anxiety is thro the roof altho this does tend to wear off towards late afternoon (i take my cit in the morning) and sometimes at night i actually feel dare i say it 'normal' but then wham in the mornings its back as soon as i open my eyes! sometimes im lterally shaking all over and the restlessness is horrible I can't remember feeling this bad last time i took them but i suppose u forget eventually when u actually feel ok!! just need some reassurance this is going to pass?? this morning hasn't been as bad as the past 3 but feel like i want to run away from my body if u understand that???
