Really bad night, so anxious now
Posted , 7 users are following.
im just going into week eight of citalopram 20mg. Some days are better than others but never anxiety free. I take 3.5mg of zoplicone to help me sleep but I’ve awoken very earlier today with constant waves of panic. I just don’t know how to make it stop I’m so wound up and scared and then I just want to cry. Will I ever get better this is tearing me apart.

Gemma are you having anxiety from the side effects of celexa..?or are you having initial anxiety symptoms that have worstening with the celexa?iam confused .because when I was recovering I was having horrible side effects from the celexa but my initial anxiety symptoms where subsiding..some times we confused our before celexa anxiety with celexa side effects.. Because if it's just side effects it will pass trust me..

Hi Gemma,
As you know I’m on 10mg and I kept thinking I should be upping the dosage but I’m glad I didn’t. Lois hit it on the head. The anxiety is definitely from the celexa. I wouldn’t believe it then but now looking back I see the difference from my original anxiety and the anxiety from Celexa. Just drink water and occupy yourself. Put a set of headphones on and go outside for a walk, look at nature. I know it might sound lame but it really helped me. Trust me. Do a journal 📓 it helps to look back. I do take Xanax I have for years. I only use 30 pills over a year. Talk with your dr. He was cutting me off the Xanax. I had a heart to heart with him. I told him I’ve tried without the Xanax and it was creating havoc on my body. He agreed with me and I’m not abusing the drug. That’s what meds are there for to help us. I can go now a good week without the Xanax. I know it’s my job causing the stress. I was just away for 12 days and I started feeling great. I stopped walking this past week and today I have morning anxiety again. 😬😬 I’m going for a long walk. Look at the food labels for hidden caffeine and remove from your diet. It’s helped me. I feel the caffeine triggers the Celexa.
Keep us posted on your progress.

My dr wanted me to come off also and I was only on it for 3 months. I told him no way. I wasn’t going through those side effects again. I’ll deal with this anxiety as it will eventually go away.
