Hi, I have take Citalopram three times before and each time felt terrible for weeks until I eventually settled. My doctor used to give me either Lorazepam or Zopiclone so I could calm down a bit but my current doctor has given me 6 misley Lorazepam pills.
Has any one started off by taking just 5mg of Cit? My doctor has put me straight on 20mg and I know I will go absolutely sky high if I take that dose as I have always started at 10mg and by the time I have increased, I have ended up at A&E with panic attacks.
Three years ago, when I got divorced I was put on Escitalopram but it never worked for me though as I took only a quarter of a tablet I managed to cope. Absolutely terrified as I seem to get every side effect going but it is the panic that frightens me most.
