    1 Week Into 10 mg Citlopram... how long do I keep feeling this way

    Hi

    I am 1 week into taking 10 mg of citlopram for anxiety/depression following a period of hightent health anxiety due to a taste in my mouth and a miscarriage.

    I have taken citlopram before for post natal depression and was on 20 mg and it work wonderd for me. I was on them for 8 months and came off in April 2010 with no issues. Well none for two years anyway.

    I remeber it making me feel a bit worse last time to start with but cant remember when I started to feel better.

    Well this time even though I am only on half the dose my aniety has increased two fold since about day three (Saturday). I have slight SE in having a fuzzy head and a bit neauseas with little appitite (although I am eating). But its the anxiety thats got me.

    I feel worse in the mornings and by the evning I am normally a lot calmer. I am managing to carry on with life as normal as possible. Coming to work every day and husband is wonderful and taking on a lot of the chores at home that I just cant seem to face at the moment.

    I just wndered if 10 mg is enough or if I really need 20 mg and also how long until I stop feeling so anxious and tearful.

    I am also atteidng NLP sessions at the same time.

    Any help or encouragement will be much appreciated. I just want to feel like I did six months ago when every day was just a day and I didnt wake up thinking, am I ok or not today!

    Hi,

    I am not 10mg day 37 for me had a good week last week but in a bit of a blip this week. Mixture of anxiousness and crying, feel a bit better today so hopefully it is starting to pass. If not I will be mentioning it to GP to see if he thinks I should increase!!

    Hope your feeling better soon. The SE took about 2 weeks to go with me.

    Take care

    Hi Kendra. I have been reading your posts and they have kept me going the last week knowing I am not alone. I too have a two year old little boy. Today so far has been a good day. Yesterday was awful. Hope you are having a good day.
