I am more depressed than anxious. Hate leaving house as i dont drive and have No money or friends / family local. No motivation or patience. 3 kids my youngest is 2. I just really want to know what to expect so I dont become even more of a nightmare to live with...... x

I have been on and off cip for 14years and recently I was on it for 12months then went off them for 10mths I was hoping I would be ok. Then bang end of the year I am feeling like this. I think I may stay on them for awhile this time. I am also doing hypnotherapy.

Hi Ladyscarrington we are all different and I have only been on Citalopram which for the first 5 days was awful worse panic and anxiety but was well worth it as now I'm much better and can cope with my 3 year old a lot more. I'm on my own but I'm lucky I have friends and a good family. Maybe when your feeling a little better you could check on google for mother and toddler groups to meet people I done that when my son was younger

Stick with it I know heaps of people say that. I am on 10mg day 9 and the first few days are terrible. I still have anixety in the morning and like debbienand lesley said keep busy its makes the day go by. If you get a chance have a look at russell harris on you tube. He talks about ACT therapy which is about acceptance of the feelings and thoughts.

Your story sounds familiar , I was prescribed 20mg cit back in July for anxiety& depression I got to the stage like you where I was stuck under a quilt on the sofa & couldn't face work friends or family. After taking the cit I got worse for the first ten days , it was horrendous but things settled down but never felt like I was recovering & the mornings were unbearable the side effects were still evident after three months so I reduced to 10mg & felt brilliant after 24hrs I've halved the dose again & will be stopping altogether at the end of the year. I'm convinced though not pleasant the 20mg fixed some thing in my head. Hope it works for you
