I have started Citalopram yesterday as I visited the GP , I was feeling dizzy and my temples feel like they are being squashed , I also have pain in my ears and my jaw keeps locking ,he checked me over ears etc and said he thinks it's my anxiety , does anyone else get this ??? I cannot believe that these symptoms are anxiety and I'm getting myself worried.

It really IS anxiety, I'm quite sure of that.
Send another post if you need more help and support - also to let me know if the citalopram is helping. Remember it takes 2 - 4 weeks to kick in. Love Tess/

It is strange and the ear and face pains can't believe anxiety can do so many things to your body.
Thank you so much xx

yes my lovely I totally agree with what you have posted the citalopram will kick in soon now I think it takes different times for different people mine took four weeks but it does help and i have jaw locking something that i have never experienced in all my years of going through anxiety so i still find it hard to believe just what anxiety is capable of and its so uncomfortable, I thought as im calm at the moment it would stop but it hasnt. im back at my doctors on 23rd so i shall mention this this is very new to me , the other symptons yes, so its just another thing to add to our symptons

I need reassurance as well.
I've been a anxiety/depression sufferer for a long time. I still can't believe that the physical symptoms can be so bad. At the moment I am trembling on the outside and fluttering/quivering on the inside. My chest hurts and my breathing is all wrong. My face is numb and tight and I feel awful. I've tried breathing exercises and have been for a walk but that seems to make things worse.
I take Lexapro and have clonazepam when needed. I hate to give in to it but need some quality of life so will now take 0.125mg and try to calm down.
I hope that the citalopram works for you. I took it for a long time and it really helped me.
take care
Sxx
