Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi. I have been on 20mg citalopram for 15 weeks now. I still get headaches and have had 2 bad migrAnes since starting tablets. I also feel sick quite often. I was sat in my front room about half hour ago and came over really funny and went White felt like my anxiety hit me hard have taken some paracetamol and now laying in bed. It scared me as live alone with my 5 year old daughter. I thought I was slowly getting there then that happened and still have a couple of side affects. I saw my doctor a couple of weeks ago she said to have a think if I want to up my dose to 30mg or change tablets. I'm to scared to do any. Just want my life back and feel normal. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

This sudden wave of panic is quite normal when recovering. Side effects can linger for months, but they will ease in time. During recovery you'll get many ups and down, and waves of panic too that appear out of the blue. The ups and downs can last hours, days and weeks ..... weeks to by feeling great then suddenly you're down or have a panic moment. This is all normal, and slowly the down times and panic will get less until they are no more. Just accept them, know they'll pass, and move on. They'll be a thing of the last eventually.
