Hi,
This is my first posting on this site but I have tried for a bit to find something like this just to see what other people are going through and to know I’m not alone. I have recently started on Citalopram
For a mixture of depression and panic attacks.
This is now day five on them and I guess I’m looking for reassurance I feel really awful as I’m writing this. The partner has went out and left me with the 3 kids all under 3 so I’m finding it very hard at the moment. I have found that Citalopram seems to make me more anxious in the morning and very tearful and I’m wondering if any one else has experienced this. The doctor has given me other medications to keep me clam whilst these take effect but I really don’t want to take them as they are addictive.
Yesterday has been my best day yet but today isn’t going so well I felt so relaxed and was able to not pace the floor and relax and watch TV. I don’t know if this is just side effects as I wasn’t that bad before starting them I could relax and watch TV but was struggling with coping with the kids etc with the attacks.
I keep looking at the clock and thinking when will it be time for bed as I believe the 2 week mark is when you start to feel the benefit of this drug. I have found my self also to be more tearful and just have outbursts for no reason at all has anyone else had this? Also has anyone had the beneifit of this drug before the landmark 2 weeks?
