I am on day 5 of 5 mg of celexa for anxiety and constant ruminating that started about 6 months ago. I am new to all this and need some help/reassurance.
I feel very shaky and a touch wired. Lights seem brighter than normal and I have weird head sensations. A lot of head tingling and pressure on my temples.
I haven't felt calm in a long time but especially right now I feel really off and spacey. Is all this normal at the beginning? Do things start to get easier and better? I go up to 10 mg and a couple of days and see my doctor in another week.
Any insight or any insight or help would help help would be much appreciated. I feel like I'm going through this on my own but I know there's a lot of people out there that I've been exactly where I'm at. Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm trying to stay positive but it's kind of hard when it's a constant and you're in the midst of things. Frankly just a bit scared

Yes it's good we can all help each other and my firdt day I took 5mg as I was scared of side effects but took 10mg from the second day as didn't want to prolong side effects. I was worse and panicky the first 5 days then improved so stick with it

Hi Awb yes. The first week I felt like I wasn't real it's called depersonalisation but it doesn't last and when I felt like it I made myself go out in the fresh air for a little walk. It will pass

Be patient with the drug you will get side effects, stay with it and do not worry

Thank you ! I am going to exactly what he says. I'm on 5mg for 7 days and then up to 10mg. Just never experienced anything like all of this including the anxiety.
