My journey week 10

Hello  thank you I am going to look at hair vitamins tomorrow see if that will x

Thank you raj . Well I am not due to see my doctor as of yet but will ask my pharmacist when I get in to work tomorrow about it not nice is it especially when it comes out but guess it's better than feeling like I did hope things are going ok for you ..

let me know what the pharmacist says...

also get a blood test done just to mske sure you are not lacking in something. 

I will back at work tomorrow so will chat to him then x

how long did it take for you to notice citalopram was working?

I would say week 7 but think because I went back to work after having 6 weeks of it made all the different .

were you taking them for anxiety?

Yes I was x

was your anxiety really bad and what were your symptoms?

Yes my anxiety did get fairly bad I was waking in the night with it and then in December I could not cope with it so my first doctor gave me propananol they helped calm me down but I felt awful on them . My head wAs like a blur so I went back and went on sertralin 50 mg but I only lasted 3 days on them as I was so ill so then changed to cit 10 mg for a week then up to 20 but had awful side effects lost 2 stone in weight racing thoughts very tierd and could not sleep felt anxious but I made sure I went out an hour a day for a long walk and pushed myself to do my jobs at home I then decided to go back to work which has given me focus eithen thou I believe my axiety started due to work stress however now my head feels in a better place I don't let things get to me In fact things that did wind me up I have learnt to let it go over my head it does take time for this but for me it's the best thing I was ready to give up on the meds but I new that would of been the wrong choice .

Everyone always seems to blame the poor celexa for strange effects..did it ever occurred to u that propanol is the culprit for hair loss.

Don't think it's the propanol  as I only took it for a week max ..

Hello Nicky what's the reason why you are coming of the tablets x

im loosing loads too.. 

I just don’t want to have to rely on them. This has all stemmed from one night back in December when I woke up gasping for air. I then got into a cycle of being afraid to fall asleep and would keep waking myself up because I couldn’t breath(subconsciously all in my head). I was a walking mess come January and doctor said to go on citalopram. I feel citalopram has made me worse however I am back to sleeping almost full nights. My problem now is health anxiety, where I feel something is wrong I automatically be think the worst. To think all of this has come from just one nights bad sleep. I just feel I’m at a strong point where I can take control of this and with the help and guidance of CBT course I can do it. Obviously if I fail I’ll go back to my doctors, but what have I got to lose in trying x

Bless you at the end of the day you no what's right for you everyone is different and deals with things different to as with the health anxiety that will pass as I had that when first taking the cit you think the worst and I was getting myself in a panic 

I hope your right my health anxiety was non existent at the beginning now 7 weeks in it’s getting worse x
