Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all
Hope your well, quick question or two! I have been on cit 20mg for 6 weeks and have had good days with the added bad but not loads! Thing is this week as been weird been cranky (tho I do have three young boys and one sick) probably I'm reading into it too much I seam to have good parts of the day and then there's these times like 4pm and around 8pm where I have "down" moments from my horrible thoughts thing is I know it's just thoughts and the edge has been taken off but it still worries me! Should I be still having bad days or is it still early days! My counselling has finished as my score improved greatly my gp review went well he said it's ok to have bad days! Also could this be PMT??? I'm sorry to ramble on but I get great advice on here! Just want to hear that this is normal!
TIA

Glad to hear you're having some good times, albeit mixed with bad ones mind.
When we recover on this medication you'll start having the odd moment when you feel good, and then the bad will return. Very, very slowly these good times will get more and more and last longer. I used to have exactly the same as you, though mine were the opposite way round - I'd be bad in the mornings and it'd ease by the afternoon and evening. You'll soon get days of feelin good which will progress into weeks. These will always be mixed with bad times, but the good will eventually out weight the bad until they're a distant past.
The horrible thoughts are a symptom of depression and anxiety, so when you're having bad times then the thoughts will be present too. Don't worry, as all this will disappear in time.
It just shows the medicine is working as you're already showing classic signs it is :-)
