Starting all over again after 6 years

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hey everyone,

So it's been 6 years since I successfully weaned myself off citlopram an now Ive relapsed and I am now back taking 10mg In the morning.

In 2014 I had a breakdown an I successfully over came it an since then I've come to recognize the warning signs of my anxiety about to kick in which normally only lasts about a week or so then It fades away but lately I couldn't shake it this time an had to call my GP.

It's been just over 3 weeks since I started them on week 2 I felt great I wasnt having any anxiety attacks/ intuitive thoughts/ I was able to sleep etc.... since monday I've hit a brick wall I cant switch off its morning/Noon/night.. I cant sleep

(currently wired in bed), my anxiety is running at a all time high, I'm having intuitive thoughts, I'm scared of pretty much everything... I have a 2 year old child who depends on me but I feel like I'm not able to look after her because I can barely look after myself at the moment.

I no it's the meds doing the job but it feels like it's never going to end.... I was back at my GP on monday and she suggested keeping me on 10mg a few more weeks then possibly upping the dosage.

Has anyone felt then benefit of just 10mg as I'd rather keep it a low dosage as I think 20mg might be a bit too much for me?

Thanks ")
