does citalopram really work??
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi everyone, i have recently started citalopram as i cant cope anymore. My mind never turns off. I worry about everything like running out of milk or having washing to do. I cant go out places either. Every day is a struggle and i dont see it getting any better. I have 3 kids to look after on my own and i need to be normal. Ive had this for about 6 years years and its just getting worse and worse. I started on 10mg for a week and am now on day 4 of 20mg. I cant stop worrying about things and its making me panic, i cant say thats a side effect cuz i felt that way before. How can i get a job and look after my kids if i cant even do basic things. I just cant cope anymore and am loosing all my fight. Any advice would be a life savour

I am currently on 20mg of citalopram a day. I lost my enthusiasm for anything and lost energy. I must admit nearly 2 months into the course it is improving my energy and mood though I still have moments of restlessness and irritation. I find it don't stress as easily. You just need to have support and understanding of those around you. My wife is brilliant. She reads the signs when I need space but most importantly I communicate with her about how I feel. Keep up with the medication. For the first 2 weeks I was useless but it does help. All ill say is take it the same time daily as I took it later one day and it messed my mood up. Especially in the early days try to keep a routine
