    I take citalopram for anxiety I believe it's better for anxiety than Prozac. Where is the numbness? Can you still feel touching and move properly.

      I get dizzy sometimes but I think it's my citalopram mixed with anxiety that do it. Mine is just routine and I'm having to wait just less than 3 months in Yorkshire. I thought they had to see you within 18 weeks. Where do you live?

      I'm trying not to worry, my doc said it could be MS I was so scared, but now I think it's just anxiety as all my other tests are fine and I have full movement and good reflexes.
