I am on 30 mg of citalopram my dose was increased from 20mg about 3 months ago and i seemed to be getting slowly better each day, until last Tuesday, i have a shoulder problem and last Monday had to have 2 steroid injections to help with the pain, the injections were painful but started to feel better in the evening, then i woke up Tuesday morning with really bad anxiety again, and this lasted on and off throughout the day. it seems to have got worse every day since then and yesterday was awful I was feeling extremely anxious all day , went to bed early as i just wanted to sleep so i could feel better but woke up again this morning feeling awful , headache, anxious stomach and strange feelings through my whole body, I have taken a lorapam today hoping it will help, are these setbacks normal as I am struggling so bad again

      hello, i feel that too. this is a set back and seems to have been triggered by the sterioid so things should settle for you once the steroids deplete?

      how long have you been recovered for from your last episode of anxiety?

      xx
