I have been on citalopram for years and was feeling fine, a year ago i decreased my dose from 20mg to 10mg. At the beginning of this year my anxiety returned really bad and having panic attacks , I am now back on 30mg of cit again , 8 weeks on 20mg and now 4 weeks on 30mg but still feeling awful having anxiety all day especially upon waking, have a few evenings when i feel better but the physical symptoms are horrendous, looking for some reassurance and still hoping things will get better

    Hi Denise

    you just need a bit more time to get balanced on new dose, and looks like morning anxiety its the thing that goes away last. But having a good time in evenings is a good sign, that's how recovery starts.

    Just give some more time , you will be fine

      Thank you , I do hope so, it is so hard at the moment but just hope I start to feel a bit better soon , the mornings are definitely the worse part of the day

      i think I'm struggling so much as when i first took citalopram i started feeling better within 3 weeks, i know that was a long time ago and i am a lot older now but just thought i might be getting some relief by now, the last few days have been incredibly hard throughout the whole day and not sure how much mire i can take

      Recovery is not smooth and has a lot of ups and downs. Don"t get discouraged by the way you feel right now, just give more time for meds to balance

    Its over 3 months now and i feel so bad, i have had trouble eating over the last few months and have lost a lot of weight, I am suffering really bad still with morning anxiety and am now having knots in my stomach all day long, does anyone else suffer from anxious stomach and is 3 months still too early to tell if citalopram is working, just would like some reassurance as I don't know what to do
