Heighten Anxiety (week 4)

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello

ive been on Citalopram for 4 weeks today.

week 1 felt like death with heighten anxiety and insomnia.

week 2 felt amazing.

week 3 and 4 ive had terrible heighten anxiety and everything i worry about is being blown out of proportion and im constantly thinking the worst.

its been so bad i feel lonely and constantly worry and my memory is making concerns seem worse than they are. my dr has given me diazapam to deal with the heighten anxiety. is this feeling normal?

    hi Tim, same here.

    been on Citalopram for 5 weeks now .

    increased gradually from 10mg to 20mg.

    week 1 and 2 horrible

    week 3 and 4 good , with less side effects and increase in mood and energy

    week 5 back to square 1...seems all side effects returned. Lots of anxiety episodes out of the blue. Headache, nausea, no appetite, burning and tingling sensation with these waves of heat thru my body from my bottom to my chest .

    Frequent visits to toilet...

    wonder why the set back ? feeling depressed now more than ever.
