Hi all.

I was on citalopram a couple of years ago for 6 months for depression. My then partner regularly harmed himself and made attempts to end his life, which had a profound effect on me, resulting in me having citalopram and CBT.

For the last 2 years i have felt like i have my life back. New job, new man etc etc and i have been really happy.

However, in the last 3/4 months, i have been having panic attacks when i go to bed at night, and haven't slept properly for months often still being awake at 3 in the morning feeling anxious and scared to go to sleep. My thing this time round is the thought of going to sleep and not waking up again.

My Doctor has put me back on Citalopram (which i started this morning) on a dose of 10mg. Has anyone had any experience with going back onto citalopram? Feeling a bit scared about it but i know it helped me last time so im really willing it to work again this time round!
