Confussed and Very nausea
Posted , 3 users are following.
I started taking citalopram only two nights ago, the doctor said to take at night, this is for the treatment of being very anxious due due to having constant head spasms, it is really playing havock with my mental health and as you can imagine it is making me have not very good thoughts. I belive the medication will help the muscle relax and maybe I will get some sleep. I am very confussed to why these spasms started, stress, worry, I am so unsure? I know I am not the person I used to be a few years ago, but the spasms are driving me mad. The doctor said to me that in a few weeks I should be better and hopefully forget about the spasms, that confussed me. I am very aware they are there and with it being in my head I worry. Since taking two doses (20mg) each day I have gotten up and throughout the day just felt sick and have no appitite. It is now 3pm and I have not eaten anything, the thought of food, eee! I seem to be mixed up with taking the tablets, my head feeling totally alien and the sickness, everything.... Has anyone had this medication for a similar thing, and how about the sickness and no appitite? Thanks for reading, Karen

I feel sick taking these pills, but I no longer shout, I can cry more though and still get frustrated and agitatedbut feel a little more in control. @ nights is v early doors, and maybe your case will be different...the nausea is supposed to pass!

About 2 months ago I was feeling low in mood again. I couldnt do my job or bring myself to talk to my partner, I wasnt eating or sleeping properly, my whole body was racked with pain and the quietest of sounds seemed to hurt my ears.
I also became aware of a sore tooth and started to get really painful spasms in my face - I was in agony. After numerous visits to the dentist they couldnt find anything wrong. My doctor put me back onto Citalopram with a course of antibiotics at the same time in case I had a sinus infection. I felt really sickl and nauseous at first and so anxious and tense with a bad tension headache.
I think if I hadnt been on Citalopram before I'd have been tempted to stop them, but I rode out the worst first week or two.
Its now 6 weeks after I started back on Citalopram and I feel much better. My spasms stopped, I feel happier in mood, I'm sleeping better and my appetite is returning back to normal.
I hope you start to feel better soon and that you find Citalopram is right for you post back to let us know how you get on.

My mum has to go back into hosp for a biggy on the 9th...I cant handle it! Why should someone work so dam hard all their life...for this/////?Poor mum...so fed up with everything! I am posted all over this forum, and Karen...I think that the brain current that you describe is anxiety....but I dont know...but i have has similiar things!
No one is talking to me anymore...I think frankly that everyone is just pure sick fed up with me~!!
I want my name of this forum and changed to something else. This world is too small , someone I know is bound to find my name splattered all over the place(Katy) I want it off...like right now!!!!
I also have a query, when I was born I weighed 2lb 7 ounces. I was lucky to survive according to my mum....do you think that it is possible that her ovarian sist was because | was a twin??? She did have a massive bleed when she was expecting me. Is it all my fault that she is going through all this pain. Is that why she could never look at me in the eye when I had Becca? Cause I had it easy???
So confused, but I have noticed that i am starting to add up things, the way i behave and respond to things, makes more sense, once you know me...the citalopram seems to be piecing the jigsaw together...is this normal to think this?
Take car all of you!

I used to get these kind of buzzing feelings in my brain, like there was a mobile phone on vibrate buried inside my head and it would 'ring' periodically. There was no sound, just the feeling...
It freaked me out but my nurse told me it was a symptom of anxiety and I guess in my case she was right because it did subside and I forgot all about it until now.
I dont know if its the same thing that you've got - I want to put your mind at rest but of course I'm not a doctor so see how you get on and good luck!!

Anxiety, I really really really hope so. I know what you mean when you say about peope being sick of you, I just feel people get fed up of hearing my problems, it seems it is all I talk about, but really your close friend won't think that of you or minbe, so we should not worry any more than need be. You have got me and I am always up to listen and chat, Karenx

Not unlike you ...when I first went for help, I had what felt like very sore achey arms...constant runs and feeling v nervous. I often worried about going outside...for numerous reasons, including a completely irrational one...about peaing myself!!! Now, well today I look back and think thank god Idont feel like that anymore. I also think I had a couple of migranes, pins and needles and headaches where I could not look at any kind of light! Panic attacks and palpataions when outside as well happen...these have not escaped me yet, but this may be due to other things that have happened! I am glad you are getting help. I too used to arrive at work and howl!!. I so needed a friend to talk to , I think I put my faith in the wrong people though, and then felt as if I had no one. I still feel nausea now from talking this pill....but I feel more in control...and I have to be, I have 2 beatiful cjildren to think of, and I am still in a v bad situation. The pill works though...sometimes I get the occassional suicidal thought,,, but they are like unrealistic imagerys now! I think this pill works for most! Keep up the good work and keep us all posted. This forum is really good and it seems to me that there are, afterall , alot of really goood people out there!!!
Take care, keep up the hard work! The side affects get better, but I cant get rid of the nausea, i think though that has a lot to do with appetite. Take care, karen...keep on going! You will get there! Katy

yes it can feel like a shuddder bit as it feels very nervy is really makes you panic. I am not sure since taking the tablets - they are meant to relax the muscles, the feeling is heavy, I wish I could expalin more, I am more baffled mysrlf to be honest :-( It is hard to describe things don't you think.
The last 6 weeks I have been worried, so this makes you anxious and you start thinking things that make you sad, I wish they would go, because I worry this could be something else I have myself dead and burried, it is not good feeling liek that, I think thats is why I am down and not coping with things, I even bought a book a month ago so I could write in it incase I was not here, in the book I would write a to do list and stuff to keep my husband from going wrong with things, that isn't a good way of thinking, but when it is your head you can help it, we are only human and al sorts of things come into your thoughts. Even though the citalopram has relaxed me a bit, feeling like I can sit down and I don;t noramally, I still keep thinking there is somehting more wrong. Unless I have more symtoms wrong I won't get refered onto anyone else. But a constant head thing when you never had anything previoulsy, I always say we are all different and a doctor can't always follow guidelines. I could go on and on. Today I have not ate much, tried to have my tea but the want to eat was not there, so I guess my side effect is that, and the sicky thing for a few hours in the moring, it does pass after being up 2-3 hours, not nice though.
Hope your day has been a better one and you have a noce time with your wee ones, Karenx

I feel low ...again! I dont think I can do this...fix my situation...make myself feel happy!! I dont know what to do. Trying to get in touch with womens aid m but yet again no one is answering the phone!
Went to the bank , then heard this funny noise!
My mother is banging on the glass of a bus shelter...shouting...Katy and waving , like a hyped up chimpanzee, it was funny though....made me laugh.....waved...then laughed....then howled!!!
God...would someone just answer the phone.....are they allergic????
I know now though, that I certainly would not and could not do this without this pill....the only way i could describe it ,is like it has given me some back bone, more like a normal person than a squeaky wee mouse!!! V impatient though.
Answer the phone....
Anyway, hope you are feeling better soon!
Take care, Katy
