I've been on Citalopram 10 mg for 4 1/2 weeks. I've been sleeping better and my bad thoughts are basically gone. But today I've been really tired (slept good last night) and feel really down. I actually cried today from how down I feel. I haven't felt down enough to cry in a couple weeks. Just keep thinking if I'm going to feel like this all my life. Also still feeling foggy/groggy headed. Thinking may be I need to talk to my prescriber about increasing my dose. I want to stop worrying about my anxiety and depression.

You may not believe me, but what I read from your post is positively good news. I 'll try not to go over the top here okay, but it is!
At 4 ½ weeks on Cita I was still curled up under me emergency duvet wanting the world to go away. It is really good to hear posotive news on this forum. Everything you have said shows that Cita is working and you are already seeing changes for the better and moved a step or two forward too. Honestly, you are thinking about the things that are happening to you and already looking at how you can move forward and get better and get passed all the cr*p.
Now, you have to try and remember and it isn't always easy, that as you move forward you may have the odd day or days when you feel like things are going backwards, this is usual. Each time you go forward store that positivity so that if (and only if) you have a relapse you will remember things have got better and it is only a temporary blip or blips. I had so many blips it sounded like morse code lol!
When you do see your prescriber remember to let she/he know what has and is happening with you, how you feel and how you are beginning to move forward. Keeping up regular contact and discussions with she/he helps them to make appropriate decisions accordingly in their part in your recovery. With you, them and us things can only get better, but (there's that 'but' again) it can take time so, the last thing you want (apart from getting better) is to rush it or over worry (even over think it). Just go with the flow no matter how rough it may or may not be and little by little you will get there. It can be so subtle sometimes we don't always realise how much we have moved forward.
Anyway, that's enough for now or you'll be falling asleep again!
Rest when you need to, do stuff when you have the inclination and/or energy and try to remain positive. If you can get out and about that does help. Afterall it is the weekend, 'but' no 'partying' that'll only put you back - unless you have soft (healthy) drinks and loadsa dancing to get yer seretonin levels up, which we can recommend!
Well done Daisy!
Regards,
David

I wouldn't need to be looking for a job at the moment if the pharmaceuticals (had to get the other half to spell that for me) would pay me, maybe I could ask, lol!
I also need to get off this forum sometimes and off me ar*e and get some exercise as I keep promoting that too!
Like many of us what we have done in the past can store up problems for the future physically and mentally. So, chill girl, there's a new you just over the horizon and we're all here to help eachother and you get to where we should be. It is as easy and simple as that, the way things have gone (and still going, sadly) in society are not natural. Lifestyle is false, processed and unhealthy and humans are definitely not a resource!
None of us wanted to be here, but we are and we are learning about life and ourselves and we should take this opportunity (see I can even be positive about being ill!) to better ourselves and others. Who knows how far we can go. Weirdly it's a kind of adventure in a way or maybe I'm just plain NUTS! Lol!
Have a good one I'm off to shed some lard!
Regards,
David

I hope you have a great day tomorrow I think the general public has no idea. How debilitating and uncomfortable this syndrome can be.
