I just wanted to post this message in case it might help anyone. I decided to come off Citalopram as it was making me feel far worse. This is the second time I've tried ssri treatment for complex PTSD, the first time with Sertraline, and both times the same thing - terrible anxiety attacks.
Have been seeing a psychologist who has introduced me to Compassion based mindfulness. It's early days, but I can honesty say I am feeling so much better - my flashbacks are no where near as strong, I don't feel so anxious, and even my anger has calmed down. I had already been doing mindfulness meditation for a few years, so it wasn't a big step for me to try compassion based mindfulness. I know I will have setbacks, and there will be days when I may even fall back into negative thinking patterns, but I truly do feel optimistic for the first time in a long time.
If anyone would like to know more, don't hesitate to contact me
Best wishes to everyone and hoping you all feel better soon
Steve
