    I do. I just increased from 10 to 15 3 days ago and missed yesterdays extra 5 dose. High anxiety after just one miss? I hope this is normal and tomorrow morning will be back on track. Ugh. Just want to be me again!

    Hi Laura

    In my experience having taken different doses of citalopram over the last 20 years this is the cit starting to work, you'll probably go back to feeling anxious for a while but then your anxiety, negative thoughts will get less and less until you don't think about your it anymore. Stick with it you're on your way to recovery. xx

      aw I'm hoping so much this is the beginning of recovery.. I believe my fear of tablets brought the stress and anxiety on.. I felt a little down but nothing compared to the tablets at the beginning..citalopram was my 3rd type of tablet..r u still on citalopram.. I dont even no how long I'm supposed to take them fir xx

    hi laura

    yeh suddenly you think......hey i feel ok this is great......then you start thinking what if the anxiety comes back ......& then you start to feel those horrible feeling creeping back!

    i guess its all part & parcel of recovery but i totally get you.

    hope your good
