Citalopram does cause increased anxiety when you first start taking it but that should settle down after a few weeks. It may be the fact that you are weaning yourself off the diazepam that is not helping either.
You may find that you will need an increase in the dose of cit but it is a little too early at the moment to know that. See how you go and if it carries on I would make an appointment and go and have a chat with your GP, not nice feeling like you do, but there is a solution and it will pass. Let me know how you get on hun, take care.
