Hi folks

I'm on week 6 of citalopram and I'm quite nervous as I am still really struggling with the heightened anxiety and depression. I am at work still after having been off for four days when it was really bad. I still feel terrified all the time and every task feels so difficult and anxiety enducing. I really hope this gets better as currently I feel like I won't be able to cope again and that's terrifying me. I am in a high pressured job and have fewer responsibilities right now to help me recover but it's not getting easier. I'm panicking that I just won't be able to cope in this sort of job in the future.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and any feedback from anyone else who has turned a corner and starting to feel better.

Thank you

    Also.... I have gradually been increasing my dose since June after a bout of depression. I went from 2.5 to 5 to 7.5 and now to 10mg.

    Its taken twelve weeks, but I am beginning to feel much better. Still a blip here and there. I'm writing this so you can see how long it's taken. You're halfway there. Hang in there 😊
