Hiya I need some advice please. 

I've been taking 20mg of cit now for 3 1/2 weeks, first 2 weeks I felt like death! Anyway last week I felt like is really turned a corner with actually having an anxiety free day and much more positivity. This week I've felt like I taken 2 steps back again, low appetite, feeling sick and anxious again. Is this normal?? Please help I'm desperate.

      Hiya Susan

      I'm on day 26 and I too felt like is turned a corner then bam all my old worries and anxiety hit me again on Monday (day 23)!! I was being sick and a really low mood. Feel a bit brighter this afternoon and my GP has prescribed me something for the nausea. I'm hoping to feel more positive soon. 

      I hope you do too

    Hi guys ive been on cit for a few days now and my thoughts are so odd. I dont know if im coming or going im not sleeping well and then when i wake up i just feel blank. Before taking them i was just generally anxious about everyday things and alittle worried it was something serious like Schizophrenia. But since taking cit ive been convinced i have it looking up symptoms every five minutes then letting them play on my head . I havent been in work for a few months and i dont think thats helping. Has anyone else got worrys like this thanks gor any help and advice

      Bill, I'm on day 26 and I started it too for just general anxiety. Since taking it my head has been all over, worrying about silly stuff. At first my anxiety has really bad and I couldn't keep food down. My tummy felt like it was burning. Then this last week I've felt a bit brighter. My thoughts are still all over a bit, but not as worryingly. I found a routine, a walk out and a good talking to myself helps!! 

      Stay positive, your not on your own.

      Yep, yesterday I spent the day in what I would describe as in a 'fog'. No motivation, depressed, anxious and feeling sick. This morning I was sick, I've literally forced myself to eat something. Little and often.
