Citalopram Journey coming to an end?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Been on citalopram for the majority of 6 years + with no major blips or concerns. In June, I had a major blip due to personal situations and started having major anxiety symptoms and migraines. At the time my doctor increased my dose from 20 mg to 30 mg. I am drug sensitive and got many SE. Months later, I am still not well with horrible symptoms...bad sleep, racing heart, nausea, lack of appetite, no motivate, extreme fatigue. At the doctor on Friday, he pulled lots of blood to be tested for thyroid etc. he also decreased my dose from 30 mg back to 20 mg and is suggesting I try a new AD. Has anyone swapped ADs and how did that go for you? He mentioned Zoloft as a possible choice. I am now on day 3 or decrease and so scared of the SE getting terrible. I hate this! Help please! I just want to feel myself again.

Hopefully the bloods will come up with some results. Have you had all your vitamins and minerals checked too.
Hope you feel better soon

I am trying to find a psychiatrist instead before I change meds though. I am in Florida and it’s hard to get into any doctor quickly. Just holding on for dear life honestly.
