Ok Ive been up and down dr has increased my citalopram to 20mg hope i start to level out a bit and stop worry about everything.

I may be joining you after Christmas on the higher dose, just hang in there I was up and down like a yo-yo quite literally early on. For me it was bad days with good moments, then good days with bad moments. I’m now finding the bad days are creeping back in, but I know it won’t last.

Yes ive been like that. I have the odd moment of clarity where i realise how fortunate iam having the kids and family etc but worries and panics do creep in. Thinking of starting a worry diary to write it down seems to have helped others here. Hope you feel better soon.
