The 10mg Citalopram is working .... however.

[BlueBunny]

12.30 in the morning and wide awake .. not what I need. only been on it a week so I hope it calms down lol

Having spent the last 2 months sleeping almost constantly it is nice to be awake, I had gotten to a point where the aches and pains had reduced somewhat ... bad news as I'm not sleeping as much so moving more (not a lot, just moving as I'm awake) the pain and breathing shallow has come right back, cant win. I was getting quite confused because I was in a different condition than normal but I really glad to have found that complete rest can reduce the pain a litttle and that minimal activity can bring it right back, I also know from experiance that a day of activity like a day out or shopping for food really adds to the exhaustion and pain. Now just how am I supposed to put that point across the the DWP with this ESA thing .. "I'll be fit for work so long as I can sleep all day" !!! somehow I dont think that'll work.

Goodnight peeps, I'm goint to try to sleep now .. mmmmm !

Oh poor you!

I had a similar night, went to bed at 11pm only to find myself wide awake at 12.30am...(was in too much pain to write on here!)

I was so wide awake I watched a film...that rarely happens, usually asleep 10 mins in!

If you ever get the chance to see 'Hugo' do, it's a fab film.

Hope you got some sleep BlueBunny.

hugs x

Hi, I take my citalopram in the morning - just wondered what time you take it as this really makes a difference.

I have just started taking mine again after trying to live without it and I take it in the morning as I take amitrytaline at night. Seems to be helping but early days yet.

I take mine in the morning too about 8am and it does help with the anxiety I didn't know it is supposed to help with the pain?
