So I have had my 6th dose of citalopram/celexa. Thing is day by day my head feels fuzzier, i feel dizzy and my eyes dont seem quite with it my vision feels a bit blurred. Is this side effects? they are horrible. I cant get out of bed as I feel so weak and disorientated. Im thinking maybe it is the meds building? and I know it can take up to two weeks for it start to work?
Thank you for your help in advance x
Hello
You have taken these meds before ?
I think I have read you may have but you are right in what you are thinking they take a while to build up and you can feel worse before you feel the benefits but once they start working they could really help you if you can get through this bit just a day at a time
If it gets unbearable and you really can't cope then go and see your Doctor they may decide to change them or by just talking to them and been reassured this is normal can help and keep us going till things settle down
Take Care x
Hi bounce Thank you for replying!! yeah I have taken them before but I didn't keep a diary and I cant remember how it all panned out last time 
it is the fatigue and dizzyness I cannot stand, literally cannot concentrate on anything, I can barely hold a conversation. I really hope things fall into place soon. I know I have to be patient but I'm usually such a happy go lucky person who loves to go out and about and it is killing me staying in. It has been this way for a week now which in the grand scheme of things isnt that bad, but it feel like a month :(. I just worry I wont get better, and I dread it. I just want to wake up in the morning and be ready to take in the world again. xxxx
It won't let me inbox you a message xx
That's odd! okay well I just said that I take citalopram, have just started back on it 7 days ago.20 mg. what about you? xx
I seen the message just wouldn't let me reply the docs want me to start propanolo. But am scared to X
they are so mild they are like sweets! honestly there is NOTHING to be afraid with. they are like soft kittens, they wont give you any side effects just slow your heart down. How old are you where are you from? x
Am 27 from Cheshire what about u x
it has said you replied but its not coming up x
Saz, the same is happening to me I can not inbox anybody, please believe me when I say you have nothing at all to worry about taking propanolo, I have them and assure you they have no side effects at all, to be honest there not strong enough for me, but they do work instantly and only last for so many hours, until the next dose, lots of people use them and find they really do help, please at least give them a try, or you'll never know, !!!! Good luck xx
Hi Rose, sorry to hear you are feelings so bad, I'm so pleased you have spoken about the way you are feeling because I have reduced down from one antidpressant and introduce a new one and the last week/ two just have felt so " ODD" last week a went out one day, the rest of the week I ( just could not get out of the bed I slept all week ) I did get an emergency appointment at the doctors last Monday morning and told my GP I just want to go home to bed no energy just completely tied, I went out on Friday, after four hours felt so very sick, (really very ill ) that lasted all night, I finally got to sleep at 4am, slept all day yesterday, today is the first day I have been up and out and felt ok, but yes Rose I no exactly how your feeling ( it's frightening really) even though we no it's the medication it still really is overwhelming when it happens, hope your feeling better soon, I'm back at my GP tomorrow, but she and I both know it's the medication and until it kicks in there's nothing her or I can do !!!!! I just pray to god this new antidpressant works for me after all this hassle !!!! Best of luck with your hope your feeling much better soon, keep intouch let me know how your getting on.
Take care. X
I had terrible Anxtiey waking up of a morning, I found it impossible to get out of bed, the anxtiey was that bad, I was really bad, so now I look back I must admit they did work and help but because I felt that bad I felt they didn't do anything, also I had anxtiey last week ( I'm more depressed at the moment ) one is usually worse at times than the other, and I dreaded the though of it coming on, so I went straight away and got a propanolo and I knew it would work, wether that day it was the placebo ?? Or yes the propanolo do work !!!!! You try them for a week if they don't work what have you lost ?? I give you my word they don't have any side effects at all, I have just started reducing from a maximum antidpressant 200mg to the lowest dose and added a new antidpressant and I'm no trying to build that one up, so believe me Saz when I say I know what side effects are !!!!!!! Starting/ stopping any antidpressant the side effects are awful, but Iv had to do both at once !!!! I'm struggling, but the propanolo are like a comfort blanket you no there giving you some comfort, have a go and let me no how you get on, take care Xxc
It just scares me to take anything like today I have been dizzy and foggy head and tonight had a pain in my left boob and shoulder and now panicking it's something to do with the heart why is anxiety scary and why so many real symptoms Xxx
Thank you for this post I just started the same thing 10mg and I am on my second day ... Yesterday after taking it I was terribly neauseous and anxious I think and this morning I woke up with terrible stomach issues like the runs, and I am very tired. Wondering if these were normal for your first time ? Never been on this before.
