Anyone else had terrible increased anxiety for 2 or 3 weeks after starting citalopram

[Windywel]

And if it is the med and not adrenalin will the lorazepam work for that?

[Windywel]

I’m a bit nervous about taking the propranalol because it can make you feel sick I think and I don’t need when trying to get some desperately needed sleep.

[BlueIris]

I've been on and off propranolol for ages; worst it's ever given me is cold hands.

[Windywel]

Thanks BlueIris - does it work for you and do you think it will work in this situation?

[BlueIris]

I don't take it any more, but it was really great for dealing with headaches and palpitations.

[Windywel]

So you didn’t take it for anxiety?

[BlueIris]

Yes, I did - it reduced the physical symptoms rather than the mental ones.

[Windywel]

Do you mean that you didn’t feel the physical anxiety in your body but still had the worrying thoughts?

[BlueIris]

Pretty much, yes, but they were easier to manage without the physical discomfort.
