Was off work with stress. Took 10mg for 4 weeks then up to 20mg. Been on ever since. Awful side effects for 3 weeks and didn't start working until 12 weeks. Much better now. Back at work. Still on tablets but coping. Stick with it!!
That's great Andy getting back to work really helps me improve faster.
Hello,
I have just begun to take 10mg of Citalopram. Last night was the third time that I took it. The first night was difficult as I woke up at 4:30am in a panic, needing Alprazolam to calm down. Since that night I have been taking the Clonazepam (.5mg) I was prescribed with the Citalopram and once I start to feel the Clonazepram working, I am out like a light. I sleep deeply and for many hours, and tend to wake up a bit groggy.
My concern is the slight nausea I feel when I wake up, I try to drink a lot of water knowing I'm likely dehydrated from the hours in bed, but nausea has been one of the triggers for my panic attacks, and I'm concerned that this will not go away. I'm due to return to work in just under one month and fear that I will not be adjusted to do so.
Yesterday I took .5mg of Clonazepam when I woke up to mitigate this food related nausea/anxiety but it ended up making me sleep for about 4 more hours, and while this is fine for now, it will not be once the school year begins again and I need to report to work.
Can anyone relate to this? Just feeling somewhat lost in this new journey...
