Giving Citalopram a second try. 6 years seroxat has done me some permanent damage.
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm giving Citalopram @ 10mg a second try for combating my anxiety that Seroxat has scarred me with. I stopped taking seroxat 4 years ago! Day 4, feeling ok side effects wise. I joined this group a couple of years ago where Katekogs and Lois were wonderful support. Hi if you're both still here doing what u do xxx
I am going to try and keep this updated perhaps once a week to see if I can report something positive to encourage others.Side effects this time round have been mild, jaw ache yawns that reverberate down my body muscles, sickness, RLS, more frequent loo visits, so far so good compared to last time.
I took this before starting on 20mg and side effects were insane, i was bed bound for almost 5 weeks! I would never recommend starting on anything more than 10mg.

Hi Lois long time, hope you are well. The plan is to stay on 10mg permanently, I have accepted I need something longterm to fight my anxiety issues, physically mainly, the internal jibblies i call them. A few low episodes over the last year of 0mg, coupled with a mild panic attack for no reason and just wanting to feel normal and not restless and worried all the time has brought me back to the Cit. I hope this time it will help me. Day 6 today, extreme dry mouth, drinking litres of water a day now and lethargy has really kicked in now.... i......feel.......exhausted...... 😕 lets hope it passes soon....

Well today is day 12 of taking only 10mg. I woke up at 6.30 this morning with Zero anxiety that lasted for two hours.... it felt soo strange, soo calming, soo peaceful.... i was not high or anything, I just felt normal and at total ease with everything..... i hope this is a taste of what is to come. i fell back to sleep and awoke with mild jitters, nausea and tummy aches about 9.30...Doh! so far this has worked better for me than the first time when I started on 20mg.
