Please can anyone help me I'm so scared

[blibby8]

Having put off taking Citalopram for over a month I have finally started taking them 4 days ago and feel awful. I was so scared of taking and so cut the tablets in half to 5mg. Tomorrow I am going to start on 10mg but already I am suffering with insomnia, increased anxiety and sweats. I have anxiety and keep thinking IU will stop breathing. Mu neck is tight and I have stuff sinuses. I am so very scared, have been to A&E twice with chest pains. please can anyone help me with advice and support. I would very much appreciate it.

Maybe you have a sinus infection ? Citalopram worked good for me years ago if you’ve been feeling really anxious and uptight for awhile now you will need a little while to unwind ...have trust in your doctor.

Thank you so much. I have had blood tests which suggest there is no sinus infection and my doctor thinks it is anxiety related and will get better after a while on the tablets. I just hate the way I am feeling and so scared but it's good to have people like you out there who have my back. Thank you
