Do sleep problems ever get easier with citalopram
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm on week 8 of citalopram 20mg. I keep waking at around 2-3 am with panic. Does anyone else struggle like this and does it get better in time. Because I'm panicky during the night, I'm waking up with increased anxiety and it sometimes make me sick on a morning. I just want it to get easier. I have been on this dose of citalopram before and the anxiety got better but I didn't have the night time issues that I have now.xxx

I have tried diazepam and ziplocone which has helped but I know they can't b a long term solution

Hi Gemma, your brain is going through alot of changes at the moment, give it time & it will settle, just because you didn’t have it last time it doesn’t mean to say it will be the same like last time.
The huge problem is the panic, imagine your rolling a snowball down the hill, it will get bigger & bigger, if you stop rolling it will stay the same, what I use to do is keep rolling it, as soon as you stop thinking , rolling it the panic will cease, it’s very hard I know but it is true, your as good as fueling the fire
I hope you feel better soon and please try not to panic, it will pass

Hey Gemma,
I’m in my 13th week on 10 mg. I still have some insomnia but these past 2 weeks I notice a huge difference for the better. I wake up around 2 am but I fallback to sleep within 30 min 🙏🏻. Stay with it. The days I go walking I sleep much better. Also take your med in the morning with breakfast. Good luck. When you wake up put a set of headphones on and listen to meditation.
It works !
