well finally trying to drop back to 20mg citalopram , been on 30mg and still "out of it" , bad  anxiety , intrusive thoughts  , tingling and shakes 24/7 .

still taking 15mg mirtazapine at night , just taken my first 20mg dose, yesterday morning was 30mg .

really feel like giving up and doing something stupid .

im just about at the end of my tether . Feel like I want to end it all .

    Hi Gary 

    how are you feeling today? Hope the 20mg of cit will settle you and you can start managing this better.Its so difficult being so sensitised and this makes you alert to every rapid heartbeat or ache twinge etc.Gradually the Meds will work and you will start feeling better and interested in daily life again. Trust me at was at a very low ebb too but eventually I felt better and now in a position to help others. Hang in there .Thinking of you xx
