Hi everyone!!!
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello all,
This is my first post in here so tentivley saying hello seperate to anyone not had side effects - Don't worry Anne I know lol
OK I am 34 I have 3 kids I have suffered panic attacks for many many years about a year ago it started getting worse 6 weeks ago I had a breakdown and new I needed help. I started seeing a counsellor doing CBT and was given Cit by my doc 10MG
At first I was like all the posts on here I can't do this it was getting worse but daily I would read the posts by you all Anne and Paul especially and you really gave me hope these tablets would work I have a phobia of being sick and at first they really were not helping my case by making me feel so sick!
No I am day 23 for 10mg my appeite has come back I am feeling slightly more positive good and bad days still sweating alot and my stomach still hurts about 3 hours after I take the tablet. I was so scared to start them like many on here but trust me you go through hell at the start but I am only just starting to feel the positives half way through week 4 and I have even considered upping to 20mg but I am going to see how I feel by week 8.
Anyways I have now said hello

I'm also on day 23 of taking 10 mg CIT & have started CBT as well so it's nice to know you are too
My side effects have mainly been a constant headache which painkillers don't seem too touch & I've had a few days of feeling naucious & some heightened anxiety. I've also had a weird feeling of my heart beating in my ears & a faint popping sound in my ears when I drop off to sleep but the doc says this is all quite normal. Not that I've had a lot of sleep, lol.
On the plus side the anxiety symptoms I was getting on a daily basis have improved by about 90%. These were not being able to get a breath, stabbing pains in my chest, a lump in my throat that felt like someone was grabbing me around it & a feeling that something was stuck at the back of my tongue. Apparently this is caused by the bumpy area everyone has there becoming raised due to stress. It's very uncomfortable and I spent many a time trying to wretch & bring it up before I found out what it was.
So, all in all, I am starting to feel an improvement but I don't want to count my chickens in case I'm not out of the woods yet. I'm going back to the doc on Monday & possibly increasing to 20mg then.
Maybe we can help each other along the way
Take care,
Loulyn x
