Okay so, i have been taking citalopram for 4 years now. Only ever been on either 10mg or occasionally 20. On Monday my doctor told me to start taking 30mg as i have recently had a baby and my anxiety over my health has gone to an all time high so ive been struggling with looking after him as well as i should as I've been having panic attacks when I've been waking in the night and trying to feed him at the same time.
The past week i have had the strangest side effects (i am hoping that's what they are and not related to my brain as that is my biggest health worry right now) i have been going into trance like states were i will stare at the wall or my phone or the TV and not be taking anything in, then i will snap out of it and start panicking thinking i have lost big chunks of time when really its been less than 2 minutes. I have also been extremely anxious one minute then hypo and excited the next like i want to go out the house and go for a run (which i have been far too scared to do for a long time but when i go into that over excited stage i can't stop talking i feel so happy and overwhelmed that my anxiety may be gone) then when i feel anxious/depressed i can't stop thinking aboht the future and not having my parents around in the future to help me and how i will copr without them etc. I have found some information on similar side effects but i am worrying now that this is something to do with my brain and the medication is having a bad reaction to a tumour in my brain.
