emily - wishing you the best of luck - hopefully you won't need it.
Thanks Logan for letting me know it helps long term - week 2 i felt great - then started to take a few steps back the past few days - but i had a long journey to worry about and i'm away from home just now - but as you say there are good days and bad days. Hopefully all you may need is an increased dose and that should sort you out.
I'm fortunate enough to have a voluntary service in my area of glasgow C.O.P.E (caring over peoples emotions)which can see you pretty quickly - you usually only wait a week to get an appt - it's just because of xmas just now - it's a great service for anyone struggling with any type of mental health issues etc - completely free and runs from donations. You should explore and see if there is anything in your area.
take care

Thanks AJS. I'll check that out. Suspect though that the only local service, is MIND who I used to work for as a volunteer a few years ago. I'm going to try and make a point of getting back in touch with them as a service user, in the new year.
As I said - recovery seems to be about good days and not so good days. The good days can make you feel a bit complacent, so when a bad day comes it feels like a real set back. I guess though it's all about keeping some perspective and that any progress is still good, even if it's small steps.
If it will help, I'm running a kind of daily blog in the General Anxiety forum. It's been charting my progress over the last 3/4 weeks.

There is also this one from Poet which is a Citalopram survival guide. It's a good read too.

The Truth Points to Itself
hi guys, took the first one this morning, but dont feel as bad as i was expecting! Just been feelin a little more anxious and got a strange taste in my throat.
Ill go and have a look at your post in the other forum Logan.
and also hope you all have a stress/panic free xmas!
Hi Emily - just wondered how you were getting on - i'm hoping things are going well for you and you had a nice christmas.
Logan - hope you had a nice christmas as well - thanks for the advice - i survived my time away from home and am back now and feeling a wee bit better each day - you're right take each day as it comes - some days are better - others not so good - but slowly the good days are outnumbering the worse ones.
