citalopram insomnia! help please?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all,
Im on cit for anxiety. It got so bad. Mor.ING anxiety was the worst for me. I started on 10mg, survived the first week amd as the nausea wore off I went up to 15mg. The main problems I have right now are the morning anxiety which is dreadful! I get better as the day goes on and the insomnia is wretched! An hour or two each night unless I take a sleeping tablet. I take my cit at 7.30 every morning and will be on day 14 tomorrow. Any advice on the insomnia really as I'm hanging. I heard.piriton was good as I can't keep taking zoplicone forever. When does the insomnia go? Also if and when I up to 20mg.Will it make insomnia worse again?
Any help most gratefully accepted. I write this as I lay on the sofa watching tv unable to keep still...Can't keep my feet or legs still but then I had that before pills due to anxiety gggrrrrrrrrrrr.
Much love.
