When will this get better 😥

hey everybody sorry it's been a while moved house and had no internet for a week. back online now x

how is everyone doing? good I hope.

so I've decided to stay with the 20mg of citalopram and see how I get on from here. it's been about 2 weeks I think. I'm definitely not as good as I was when I was originally on them but I'm definitely a lot better than a few months ago.

my anxiety is still pretty high but my mood for the most part is a lot better. I dont feel as depressed

strange how back on my original dose and dont feel as bad as I did when I changed. I feel like I need to improve more but will wait and see what happens x

hope you are all doing ok x

potatoe ghost can you have a good day and then have on plaqued by anxiety.

what dose are you on and for how long?

i am on luvox been raising my dose gene sight test said higher dose would work better. its an SSRI doses go from 75 to 300. ive been on 200 mgs . 3 weeks today have had some good days. today my anxiety and fear are high.

still early days yet lynn

the fact you are having good days is a good sign. x eventually the bad days will get less and less and then eventually disappear and you'll feel back to normal. you will have ups and downs like everybody else but this is normal x it does take time though x 3 weeks is really early days x keep taking them and you will start to feel better x it's hard to see when you feel poo but more time will go by when you haven't thought about it x

was the morning anxiety the last to go

lynn until your morning cortisol levels decrease you will have morning anxiety.it will happen trust n believe.x

i have been on this med since may raising dose i will stick to 200 like ven goes up to 300. been on 200 3 weeks yesterday. morning anxiety when i wake up the worst

lynn raising your dose since may is still very early.all though i have never taking this luvox .not all ssri are created equal.best regards.

ive got sciatica grrrrr x

i bet you a million dollars is the celexa !!!!!

just like i had Rheumatoid arthritis.NOT!

I'm torn whether its sciatica or the citalopram for you x it is hard to tell x if you have faith and have trust in your doc then I would say listen to the doc......for now because it could well be.

sciatica is hard work but with the right info on what to expect you will be alright toria x

what does your gut tell you? x

hmmmm guys i dont know going to do the back exercises anyway and see x

I still get morning anxiety and its bloody horrible so I feel for you. the first time this happened to me the morning anxiety did disappear so I'm confident it will for you too x one day you'll wake up and it will be fine x it's amazing when that happens. keep looking forward x

you know long term use of the ziplocon combine with celexa causes pain in the joints /muscles n perhaps bones.

did it take you a while to feel better

yes maybe but that would be body pain which i have anyway but this is different plus even with zopiclone i hardly sleep so without it would be dire x

if i where you with your fibro and your meds dont settle on siatica just yet.x

i took ziplicone for one whole year with no problem after that year i started having severe joint pain in my hands and ankles .and that pain was way different than the celexa pain.and immediately doctors where saying it was Rheumatoid arthritis.and i almost fell for the expensive meds they wanted me to take.well you know the rest.just be aware of misdiagnosed .i know you been there

the first time round took about 6weeks for me to start to feel better when I got the right dose. this time round a hella lot longer because I cant seem to find the right dose for me after 20mg stopped working. I'm better than I was but far from back to normal x itll be fine, honest, it just takes patience and time and a lot more time and patience lol u will get better x

yeah see how you get on lovely x keep an eye on things and just keep an open mind I suppose x hopefully it's not too bad for you x it's never simple though when on meds to know what causes what is it? x

LOIS, I started lovox on May 1 at 50mg ive only been on 200mg 3 weeks today

yes lois thank you and dont worry they offered me pain killers but i wont take anything else x

i know its a blooming nightmare x

how are you feeling in yourself? obviously another thing to add to your anxiety but feeling any better at all? x

3 weeks really isn't very long at all. some people are lucky and get better in a matter of weeks and some people it takes months x just be kind to yourself and dont worry about anyone else. do what you need to do to recover. recovery comes in waves so if you feel poo again for a few days dont panick x keep trooping on. dont change dose too quickly give it time to work lovely x

absolutely!

had a better day yesterday little break from the racing thoughts which was nice, how you doing? x

that's good that you had a little break x anything take your mind off it? or was it just one of them things where you didnt realise you hadn't thought about stuff until you, did? if that makes sense lol

you have a lot going on by the sounds of it with the updose and the sciatica stress so hopefully it will settle down for you again soon x

I'm not too bad thanks, today has been a bit tough, had that horrible sicky nervous feeling in my chest all day but had calmer moments. see what tomorrow brings eh? x

thats it everyday is a new bag of poo! haha! no just waves and windows x
