Reassurance needed! I've been taking citalopram 20mg for 16 weeks now and I've been doing so well, the beginning was awful full of high anxiety but I managed to get through it and the good times stared coming and the last couple of weeks have been fantastic and felt like my old self again but today I'm back to lots of anxiety and nervousness and feeling sick! I have a big bday next week and I'm going away for a few days so that's probably what's doing it although I'm excited about it all!! I hate the down periods and wonder when it will all go away! I thought after 4 months on citalopram the wobbles would have gone!

    I was on them for nine months and weaned myself off them very very slowly late last year as I didn't want to be on them. Now I'm considering going back on them, the only thing puts me off are the side effects when you start and the blips along the way. I carry a packet in my bag as a comforter! Glad you got sorted, it's always reassuring to know that you're not going mad and this is normal on these meds.
