Cit for Anxiety

Hi David, thanks for your reply. I myself also thought it may be a little OTT. Have only take 3 of the diaz (2mg a day) and none yesterday because I don't want to take them unless I have to and felt good yesterday so didn't need it.

 

I was in a state of panic when I went to the Dr so the diaz I was to help me sleep, eat and work (as I work full time) and I couldn't work without food or sleep. The cit for the general anxiety, but told me I may experience increased anxiety to begin with which wouldn't help at work so hence the diaz until I level out a bit.

I have been experiencing lots of physical symptoms from my anxiety for a couple of years, stomach problems and I was just exhausted from it all. I didn't want to be on any medication and was very hesitant to accept the help as I wanted to be "normal" and I felt as though accepting the help was like admitting defeat that I can't cope, I was almost embarassed really of the state I was in.

I'm just going to do what the Dr says and see what happens, I'm trying not to decide what medication I should or should not be on as I'm not a Dr, which is something I'm finding hard as I already said I haven't followed Dr's instruction with the diaz (surprise, surprise) I was told to take 3 a day, No way will I take 3 a day unless I absolutely felt I had to.

I took my second dose of Cit last night and feel fine today so far no nausea, slept fine feeling ok.

I always get out of bed (even if it's only to lie on the couch) Hope I feel normal again soon

I always try to maintain a positive attitude as I find that makes all the difference  

How are you now 7 months in xx

 

Hi HootyHoo,

Sorry for delay in replying, but been busy painting outside front of house. One thing I have forced myself to do (when I felt like it) was to keep meself occupied and I have. Although, sometimes I would just lay or sit and vegetate until the downer passed.

I am off to the Dr tomorrow to hopefully begin to reduce from 40mg down to ? She has advised me that I may never come off or if/when I do I may find myself back on a low dose such as 10mg.

Keep posting, even the silliest thing can be sorted! (Or are we just nosey? Lol!).

I shall report back here tomorrow after the Dr's appt.

Keep going with the flowing!

Regards,

David 

Hello David, 

Glad to hear you're keeping busy, I too was busy today, at work, find it helps istead of sitting down wallowing in misery  Had a good day. Night 4 of 10mg of cit tonight, no side effects to report except for difficulty falling and staying asleep although I'm like that anyway. Hope I am one of the lucky ones and manage to dodge the side effects

Best of luck with the Dr tomorrow hope it goes well for you.

Yesterday was a pretty good day but today a little bit more anxious and tired, guess those are the normals of this pill, does it maybe also mean it could be working? I notice too that I have a side hurting me and of course right away I think the worst, kidneys or something awful. Going on my 5 th. week of 10 mg from 5 mg for the first 5 weeks. Thoughts ran through my head this morning trying to get out of bed, am I going to be me again. Sure hope real soon they work but maybe they already are seeing my day was good yesterday. Thoughts on that David, help give me hope, your writings are so good on here for people to read, thank you.
