This is my 2nd go around on citaroplam. The first time was 10 years ago, why did it seem so much easier then, anyways i have been on 20mg for 5 weeks then my dr upted me to 30mg and i have been on them for 5 weeks so 10 in total. the last two weeks were really good, my sleep was improving although still anxious about bed time, and i didnt have anymore morning anxiety or anxiety period.

Then last night hit, and out of the blue, i got and an anxiety attack, heart racing, shaking, which last all night so needless to say my sleep was not good at all.

i feel disheartening, like all my progress is gone, like i cant see a way through this again...i feel lost

    Dont feel down 5 weeks is nothing you will be having ups and downs for the next 6 months. Im on my second time on 20mg some days i feel great then i can start feeling down again for a day or two. Im just glad for the good days. Im 9 months down the line now and the panic attacks and anxiety have complety gone i just have the odd down day but i think even well people experince those days. Hang in their and just realise that youve had panic attacks before and you always get through them. Take care and get well soon because you will. Paul
