Anxious about being anxious!
Posted , 5 users are following.
Just a quick question. Been on cit for 11 weeks, 4th time but no depression this time only anxiety, 6 weeks at 10 mgs,5weeks at15mgs.
Up and down, good weeks, bad weeks but what I want to know is if others get anxious about not feeling anxious and dreading the return of their anxiety.
Wish I could stop thinking about it all the time

Yes! I do this.
I went on Citalopram 5 years ago when my anxiety was really bad (the first time I'd been on an antidepressant), and for 5 years I did great. Now, the Citalopram has quit working for me, and one of my main thoughts is having anxiety about anxiety, anxiety about having to switch meds (still haven't taken the plunge on that yet), anxiety about what to do if/when the new meds work, but then anxiety comes back again!

Hi Gemma and thanks for your reply.
I too am like you and wish I had never come off of cit but hindsight is a wonderful thing is it not!
You sound quite positive at only 8 weeks so well done you. I guess my biggest failure is that I have never been a patient person so want instant results, which "normal" brain tells me is not going to happen but I know I will get there eventually
Have a good day

Hi sue,
Yes I used to get very anxious about my anxiety getting worse or coming back. I’ve learned from this forum how to control it through meditation and speaking with others about it. I’m on 24 weeks at 10mg.

Hi will and thanks for your reply.
I know that constantly thinking about it or ruminating as they call it doesn't help but just find it hard to distract myself sometimes.
Hope today is good to you
