hi I have had all your symptoms so your not alone. I am on the same medication as you and it took a good 4 weeks to start feeling the effects so just give it time. it has worked wonders for me. stay positive I know how hard it is x
I have general anxiety and depression but its got loads better in the past 3 months since I started taking citlopram. I was on propanolol for a while but both together seem to be doing the trick at the moment. I think its what best suits you. I never wanted to go on medication and tried everything before going on it. its not for everyone but works for me. I use to get dizziness, tightness of the head, nausea, stress headaches, racing heart, tight chest, numbness, blank mind couldnt concentrate on anything muscle aches and I thought I was dying. im sure there is more. the only thing I get at the moment is a little chest pain every now and then but I brush it off as I dont want an attack. hope this helps x
Thank u so much I have the same symptoms as u did ,but I'm just hoping that this will fix my anxiety and panic disorder I have had the sick of this now it has took over my life completely but I'm guna win it's not guna beat me lol I have a therapy assessment for counselling tomorrow so let's hope I will have my new life back by the new year
Medication doesnt always solve the problem, as anxiety is a psychological off set, not a medical issue. Try not to rely too heavily on medications because it is you that will kick anxiety in the butt.
no problem and keep the positive attitude. l am and it seems yo be working. I had counselling and it helped me a great deal. good luck and keep us updated x
Hi have you had your bloods done checked for any vitamin deficiencies iron ,etc , it may be worth doing has I had low iron levels & some of my pains were due to that a few yes anxiety !!, hope it helps a little hugs Binkynoo x
The dizziness could be hyperventilating just try to slow your breathing down . I was on citalopram but a few weeks no side effects but did not do a lot of good so changed to sertraline. What u r experiencing might just be worse anxiety which is common when you go on medication bear with it, it will be worth it in the end x
Thank u I will bear with it to see what happens ! ...
Had it where I couldn't breathe but if your back is out of alignment, it can affect your diaphragm which can cause it so you feel as if you can't catch that deep breath. Its not a cause for concern. As for dizziness, deep breathing but dont breathe too much.
