Really testing the citalopram.
Posted , 4 users are following.
So as some of you have seen my posts in the past, I had a rough ride with the citalopram but I stuck with it. It's been about 9 months now and my anxiety is minimal for the most part which is a good thing. But lately I got struck with a lot of bad things going on in my life. My childrens father and the love of my life has been diagnosed with a fatal lung disease, and we just decided that we are finally going to get married after being together for 28 years, a best friend of mine I just found out had passed away, and so on. We are still planning the wedding, and that has been very stressful. So with all this going on this will be the big test of the citalopram. I have been anxious lately but not into a full blown panic attack but I can feel it rising every day... I can not up dose the citalopram because I already was on a higher dose and it did not work well with me at all. I am getting a little nervous about what to do during a time like this? I mean, its normal anxiety caused by life happenings but I already know I can't handle much of it since I have had such a horrible past with it, when it gets bad everything gets out of control....
Suggestions would be much appreciated.. How did anyone else handle hitting a really hard time after recovering on the medication?

Not so sure the citalopram is keeping up with all the things going on right now. I don't so much have panic attacks again, but anxiety is higher, and the DP DR is returning, ugh. And I already know that higher doses of the citalopram does not do well for me, it made me feel even worse before. Not sure what to do or how long to ride it out before telling my doctor. I don't want it to get really bad again where its harder to get it under control. Ugh 😦 I feel so discouraged.
