Second time on citalopram stopped it after couple months because hair problems, tried sertraline made me worse now back on it 5 days in. Just waking at 4am most mornings can'T get back to sleep. Get off to sleep OK just wake so early and anxiety seems lot worse in morning anyone else have this. I take it at night as found taking it in morning first time stopped me getting off to sleep.

Not heard of them actually making people physically sick, just feeling nauseous. I wake up feeling hot and sweaty sometimes as well. Morning anxiety seems very common. Waking up at 6 am would be fine for me it's 4am that is so awful. Hope the nausea goes off.

Hope it helps you Graham. I'm back to taking the meds at night really seemed to rack up anxiety yesterday morning taking it after breakfast. Did manage to walk round to the supermarket today. Some days can't face going out. Hope the anxiety improves for you and the nausea.
