    Oh and also im now on 30mg of cit, I slowly worked my way up over the last two weeks for 10mg to 30mg, so start at and and maybe work you way up to 20mg, your body gets used to the cit so the moving slowly helps keep the side effects less full on, at least thats how it worked for me.

    :-)

    Its up to you Heather I would say go in if you feel up for it, Its always scary meeting new people but once you get chatting am sure you will be fine. I was going to say Citalopram really made a massive difference they really helped me control my anxiety better you just got to give them at least 3 or 4 weeks. I hope your feeling better soon and would definetly give them a try.
