My appointment with my psychologist is next Tuesday, I'm so glad, cause I really dont think this crap is for me, so if by then I still feel a wreck, I'm going to get his opinion n most likely start something new. I've pretty much had it. That gives me all but a week yet to keep thinking this might work. Tmrw will be 4 weeks on it, n in my personal heart felt opinion, that should b enough time to be feeling well, but just my thots. N I think u should b too. Maybe an option for you is to increase first n then see if that helps you, IDK. I just really think we should b happily getting on n not constantly on here looking for someone else who is in our shoes or getting false hope, or excuses to keep riding this out, it just seems way too long to be waiting. It might not be the right pill for us to swallow. IDK, but I'm sick of it. Have you ever been on any other AD's?

I have actually been feeling okay...its just the mornings anxiety that is still getting me but once im up n about i generally start feeling better.
I dont believe 4 or 5 weeks is enough time to be feeling on top of the world, but i dont think we should be starting to see.more positive that crap. I have been on citalopram before and i know it too a good while to feel amazing again i mean 2 to 3 months but all the while i was feeling a little bit better with each passing week.
Please dont give up after 4 weeks...thats no time at all x x x

I'm jealous of you seeing Star Wars as it's gotten such Rave reviews! I need to book to go an see it asap!
I have been on citalopram multiple times, and every time I go back on it the fear of not getting better grips me , and I spend the whole time asking my wife and mother and brother 'will I be alright?, I'm going o get better aren't i?' To which they having been through the questions about 3 times in the past always say yes, give it time!
And the thing is, every time I return to these pills, they out me on an even keel again, however it's the impatient side of us that wishes for instant gratification from the pills, and unfortunately that's just not how they work! Since going on them 11 days ago, I have noticed small steps towards improvement, e.g. Periods during the day when I don't worry, periods in the day when I feel happy and laugh, and times when I wake up and don't feel anxious! The things oth these pills is that to us the results don't feel tangible because they are slow, however from the outside the ones that love us can really spot changes in positivity etc! And there will come a time when after x months on the tablets you get to 6 at night and think..... Wait a minute no anxiety???
We all reach that stage, however it just takes time! Focus on the small things you do better from day to day, yesterday my anxiety was worse, however upon returning home from my mothers ( where I seek refuge) I had no anxiety ( compared to previous days where the thought of being on my own in my house was panicky! That's a small step, and pushes the mind into positivity!
Be reassured that we ALL return to who we are, it's just a matter of time!

Thank you so much for the reply...this is also my second time on tge meds and i am seri7 considering staying on for life...relapse is such a sacry thought...😕
Anyway...when i woke this morning i was feeling so aweful i was just desparate for some good reviews. I guess when in the grips of anxiety its hard to be rational.
I am glad to report i am feeling slighty better tonight...as i always do...i loolimg forward to going to bed as i have felt extremely tired today.
On the up side Starwars was awesome 😀😀
Thanks again howard!!! Speedy recovery to you!

This is how I felt on them but from day 1 it wore of for me after 4 weeks but every now an again I'd have a bad day. You might have just been having a bad day I'm not on them though anymore didn't like what they did to me
