Hi Cgirl81, make sure you give yourself time to adjust to the medication.

When the dosage is increased it could add on a few unpleasant symptoms but

know that once the drug reached full efficacy, you will start seeing some relief.

Be patient and keep your mind in a position place. Do things you enjoy

and don't just sit and wait for results. Going forward is about moving forward.

I wish you the best xx

Thank you ive been pushing myself to do little things but im also sitting here and waiting/praying for them to work. Its a vicious circle.

When we sit and wait, time goes ever so slow.

Keeping the mind busy is important. Keep coming on this forum so you don't

feel so alone. We all understand what it's like and we are here to help our

virtual friends get through these hard times. I care xx

Hello, I know it can be distressing waiting for a med to work and hopefully you will start to feel better in a few weeks. Citalopram is an ssri and can take 4 - 6 weeks to make noticeable changes so give it time to work. Your anxiety makes you hyper-vigilant and potentially exasperating your anxiety so try to distract your self and get on with your daily life in the meantime and keep posting here for support, you can do it.
