Hi everyone,

This is my 7th week on citalopram at 10mg - and this past week or so has been terrible. Horrible ocd, obsessive thoughts about things I’m unable to check.  Waking up again at 5am everyday again and feel panicked and very sick with constant anxiety all day . This went away for a few days and actually had moments where I felt nearly back to my old self, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Please help or advise am feeling so sad and hopeless 😢

Thank you x

    Sandpiper, this is all totally normal, honestly. You'll go forwards and backwards. Fine some days, feel terrible on others. Am personally typing on one of a few great days, punctuated by a god awful terrible one on Monday where I felt really depressed. You are heading in the right direction. 🙂
