Hi I've been taking citalopram 10mg in the evening for the last 4 days and I've been feeling awful. Anxiety is through the roof, panic attack last night with the usual clamy sweaty hands, I've also got internal tremors going on randomly worse in the morning and evening as well as feeling generally awful.
Has anyone else had these symptoms or felt rough starting this med. The doc did say I could get worse before I get better but didn't expect to feel so rough.
I’m also taking Citalopram and not sure if it helps at all or making me worse. My doctor added this medication because of my crying related to my relationship with my husband. But medication cannot solve everything. I’m considering getting a new doctor and discussing my options.
My crying typically begins with ruminating thoughts, which I know is not healthy. I wish I had someone to talk with. I was diagnosed with OCD and bipolar a decade before meeting my husband. Now we have two small children. I had psychiatric issues during and after each pregnancy and had to be hospitalized. They set me up with a therapist, but my husband refuses to pay for therapy. I have always had such difficulty talking to him. He is so frustrated with my inability to communicate with him. It’s not good for either of us,
I have noticed myself breathing unusually and have had some panic attacks too. Then when I relax, a series of burping and gas. The crying usually starts with chest pains and my own frustration I cannot properly express. I read that anxiety is carried in the body and something about the shift between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Want to find new ways to relax and enjoy my family, rather than allowing thoughts to influence my emotional health in a negative way. I suggest finding something calming for yourself and having a close friend you can trust to help when you feel anxious. Also discussing your concerns with your doctor. If you find comfort in faith, that may help too. I found the following link with verses about anxiety and sharing in case it helps.
