New on citalopram will this pass?

Totally agreed with you about rome. bonjorno

How soon did you feel the increase when you went to 30? 

This is my third day on 30 mgs. I don’t know if it my imagination or, in fact, the increase to 30, but I felt it on the 2nd day, yesterday. It was by far, the best day I have had since starting Citalopram. Today was a rough day having a family crisis, but I handled the situation that lasted over 6 hours incredibly well, I think. So yes, 30. Seems to be my sweet spot.

Do you find it's getting worse as the days go on, I find that it steadily gets worse for a week until the levels settle and then gets better, I was in a right state when i started citalapram, I preseveared and it worked really well, this time I started at a lower dose of a ssri to try and reduce the side effects, it hasn't been as bad this time. If it is too bad may be see if you can take half a dose for a week or so and increase, but you may be almost over the worse now.

Hi. It definitely sucks in the beginning. They symptoms will pass and you will feel better as you start to level off. Once you have felt level.on the 10mg go up to 20. I felt the biggest change she I went to 30mg but it's a slow uphill battle for you at the moment. I promise it will get better. Kelp.posting on here was it makes it just about bearable in the early days x

Im hoping 10 will be enough🙁 its just awful having this feeling, id say it hasnt got anywors than iv already been feeling and today i have had more oomph to get up and do things not sure if this is a good sign or not as i still feel rotten..as if iv a stomachbug on the way but i know its not.  Xx

I have been on ten for 18months and feel good...in the beginning twenty was way too dramatic with side effects. Than o lower to ten and was able to tolarate that dosage better..you will feel better trust me.it. Just seems that you won't...but you will...ask your doctor for a benzo...for those yucky moments..

fingers crossed that the 10 dose does the trick. You are doing well staying positive. I hope you continue to improve x

How are you today x

After feeling brilliant from around 8pm last night, woke up at 8:00 today feeling awful again, back to the dry heaving and feeling rubbish 😪 xx

Another update. Iv had a very strange day today. Iv had more periods of feeling normalish, then the horibleness comes back...wondering if this is the pills taking more effect. 

Yes the waves of the pills will happen through out recovery...

So will the horrible waves get less and less? And as they lessen good waves will happen more and then hopefully permanently? Xx

Yes Chantel..don't ever think the meds aren't working because they are at any dose...

Thankyou your helping me so much. I actually feel really good just now. Gettin some mild heart palpitations but nothing thats worrying me. Even plucking up the courage to go out to bingo im feeling that good!😊 hope this is me for the night! Xx

Hi. You are doing really well.hanging in there. I think one of the most frustrating things is when you feel.om and for no apparent reason a wave of panic or anxiety hits you. It really knocks your self belief and makes you think It won't get better. You will definitely improve. Have you looked on the bus website??? They have some really good articles on anxiety panic and depression. I have listened to the audio in anxiety and it really makes a lot of sense. It has helped me to cope with it more when it comes along xx

Yes palpitations are either side effects or anxiety or both..but they will soon disappeared..it took me 8 months to finally saw wow.this is working but I never gave up ..and always had hope ...bingo is so much fun...

Thanks joanne, the more i feel normal the more positivity i have towards the pills. Xx
