Hi just looking for some hand holding this morning. Just short of 4 weeks into taking the meds and having the worst morning yet. Little sleep, wretching and so restless - just feel like stopping the meds as this feels so much worse than the original symptoms. Dragging myself into work when all I want to do is sleep and get over this. Just reaching out for a bit of moral support

    Just an update on my journey with citrolopram. I started for the 2nd time 8 full weeks tomorrow. In the last 3 days my nausea and the knots in my stomach have subsided. I have been taking ginger pills- one in the morning and one before I go to bed for the last 2 days. I don't know if it made a difference or if I'm finally getting rid of this, but will keep taking them for awhile. I still have trouble sleeping and I take 10 mg. Of melaton which help me sleep a little better, which I got at a vitamin store and it is a natural mineral. I just wanted everyone to know not to get discouraged because it may take longer for some of us. It can take longer than 4-6 weeks and don't get discouraged if it takes 8-10 weeks. Be patient it can be a long hard road ahead.
