Hi all! hope everyone is well! Im currently now on day seven of citalopram. I had a really good two days this week and now today Ive woken up and I feel like I’ve crashed again. I had an appointment this morning so managed to get up and out for that but I just feel really dizzy, I feel spaced out and I seem to be getting headaches more frequently. I saw my GP about the side-effects a couple of days ago and she suggested taking propanolol 40 mg up to twice a day as and when I needed it. She said this would help

for my headaches too. She reassured me that the things I’m feeling at the moment are just due to my heightened anxiety and obviously the side effects im experiencing. I just cant help but wonder why i am feeling so rotten. is it really this medication that is making me feel this way on top of my anxiety. I have never been that ill really until 3 weeks ago when i experienced my First panic attack. Please tell me this gets easier and I’m not being crazy at the moment!

thanks, laura x
