Hi guys, firstly I would like to thank meg for her support over the last few months, and also anyone else who has been intouch. I started to suffer from panic in September also depression, problems going out etc. My doc put me on Citalopram, to which I had very bad side effects, I went to see him last week and he suggested I come off them so I took half on Wed and Thur and thought things would be ok, as my panic had stopped, just about!. Up until Monday I felt 90% better, but I have started to feel very strange, I was feeling very odd when taking the tablets, my head felt very odd, dizzy, confused, pressure in my head, feeling like something serious is wrong with me. At present I feel really odd my head is full of pressure, I felt sick earlier, I feel dizzy and my sight goes funny sometimes, its hard to explain, but I feel as if something is seriously wrong with me. It was all going so well, I have been going out alot, my panic attacks just about stopped, even though I get some feelings of panic I was able to change my surroundings etc in order to feel better. But this thing with my head is freaking me out, I asked the doctor how long it takes to get Citalopram out of my system and he said straight away, so it can't be that. It can get that bad that the only way to feel better is just to lie on the sofa with my duvet and watch tv, it really upsets me as I feel so scared, and feel as if I am dieing, but not like the dieing feeling when I have a panic. I need to keep motivated, which I am finding hard, but I am making myself go out and do stuff as the exercise really helps, but once in from walking, it all starts again, I think its very unlikely that there is anything wrong with my head, but its just so odd that my panic has calmed so much but I am getting such an unwell feeling. I was so please at the weekend, I though things would be getting back to normal again, and now I am so confused. I am going to make and appointment to see the doc tomorrow, but feel as if they don't understand as they haven't been that helpful, some of the doctors make me feel as if I am wasting there time, so I shall get an appoinment to see a nice one!!!!. Please if anyone has any idea why my head is feeling like this, please let me know as I am scared. Thanks best wishes Heidi
