Hi 😃
I’ve been on citalopram for 2 days now, I was on propanalol previously to take whenever I felt anxious. I didn’t feel this was working so dr prescribed citalopram 10mg
I stopped taking the propanalol the same day and then straight into citalopram (as advised by dr) I now feel utterly crap, absolutely shattered, no energy, can barely walk because I am so tired, heart palpitations and the feelings I can’t swallow.
I’m glad I’m working from home at the moment, as I wouldn’t be able to do anything feeling like this! It’s awful!
I feel more anxious than before, is this normal? I’m only 2 days in 😦
Help 😦(

You can take the propanolol along side to help you through the next few weeks. I was given diazepam which was a complete life saver for me. If you discuss this with your GP they should offer something like that to take the edge off. The first 2-3 weeks is the hardest. Meditation, mindfulness, audio books, walking when you can....it all helps the recovery process 😃

Hey! I am two days in today and feel so bad as well. I had to leave work early and am taking off the rest of the week. You should be 8 or so days in now. Are you feeling any better yet? I have been a mess today, tingling, shaky, foggy brain feeling, nausea and upset stomach. Im on 20mg.

Hi
I am in exactly the same boat. The tiredness is ridiculously and plus I have a lingering cold too which doesn't help.
Doctor said to stick with it as it can take 2/3 weeks to get used to so hang in there!
