Citalopram :: Anxiety Out Of The Blue
Jan 11, 2015
My anxiety had seemed to have kicked in again out of the blue ! am currently taking 20 mg and have been taking this dosage since dec9/14, started out on 10 mg which eventually seemed to reach a plateau hence the 20 mg dosage. this week past was that time of the month for me and is ordinarily a rough go without the cit. The past 2 days have been really rough with what seems to be anxiety kicking up , almost to the point if there was a way to climb out of my body i would. Doing all i can to keep busy along with walking 5 km a day, Up until my period things seemed to be good... not sure what is going on! my doctor didn't seem to want to address it and i'm not sure why, now it seems i'm gonna have to go back again.

My anxiety is much better, I hope everyone else has been feeling better...
But I still get really hot or cold heat or cold waves and it's just the worst.

I have been taking these pills for about 10 days and initially the side effects were awful, nausea, sick, no appetite, more anxious and virtually no sleep. After taking first pill in morning I realised it made me sleepy so switched to taking before bed in the hope it would help with my sleeping. Unfortunately not - did get one good night at weekend and felt so much better yesterday but last night it's like back to square one. Anyone got similar experience - currently on 10mg citalopram and don't see doctor again till November.

I have been taking venlafaxine for 4 weeks now 2 weeks at 37.5 with 10mg of citalopram and the last 2 weeks at 75mg a day on its own the last 2 weeks I have been experiencing more anxiety and feel tense all the time I'm more snappy with my kids too will this pass as Iv changed on to this medication as citalopram wasn't helping me any with anxiety and low mood. I just want to be me again I keep having racing thoughts which had all stopped.

I started citalopram yesterday and today I feel horrendous. Nausea, headaches and my anxiety is a millions times worse. I literally feel like I can't function. I'm going to take the tablet tonight as can't cope with feeling so bad in the day. Did people feel the same and when is the best time of day to take it?

I have been on cit for 4 weeks. My doctor decided this morning that she should increase my dose from 20mg to 30mg. I'm not sure why she decided to do this because I've actually been feeling close to myself for the last 2 days and I informed her of that. Since I've been home from the appointment my anxiety is creeping back in. I think it may be due to worry of increasing the dose. Should I expect to have increased side effects and/or anxiety after taking the new dose?

Hi I thought I had read on here that increasing your dose could be like starting again side effect wise ? I'm looking for explanations to why after a week of increasing to 20 mg my anxiety / and depression appear to be worse ? Anyone else had similar ? I have.a Family wedding this weekend and am panic stricken / family staying at the house ( I have taken to wandering during the night time insomnia and couch sleeping to help with the anxiety ) I can't imagine how I'm going to get through it !

I took the plunge and took the tablets 40mls a day twice a day for around 3 weeks, then due to side effects, reduced to 10 mls twice a day.
My constant panic attacks are not there anymore, just now and again. I found that the tablets must of interacted with the citalopram 10mls as I felt really alert of them and couldn't sleep, general anxiety symptoms were increased. Since reducing I am able sleep, my pulse rate is still up, but not as bad as before.

I get physical symptoms from my anxiety and depression and wondered if Citalopram has helped anyone get relief from this ? Does it also work to relieve pain does anyone know ?

Does anyone else feel like this, I wake up (that's if I have slept of course) and I'm filled with dread. My husband goes to work very early and I hate him saying he is leaving, my anxiety is dreadful in the morning and sometimes lasts all day, when I go to bed at night I already start worrying about the next day! I am on day 9 of 20mg of citalopram and propranolol so hoping meds will start working soon. But does anyone fill withdrew due in the morning?

I've been on citalopram 10mg for 2 weeks.
Iv started getting really bad teeth chattering and jaw aches.
Should I stop taking the medication and ask my dr for a new antidepressant or should I increase the dose to 20mg?
I was prescribed citalopram for anxiety.
I didn't have any physical symptoms of teeth chattering prior to taking cit.

I've been on 20mg of cit for just over 4 weeks now almost 5, and at first it was great. My mood picked up, anxiety went way down, and my OCD drastically went down. But now, I've been on a steady decline for almost 2 weeks and i feel like I'm at square one again. High anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, and no appetite and depression all over again. Obviously I need to something differently but I'm wondering if I just need an increase or just try a whole new med?

I gave up my job because I was so stressed and such an emotional wreck. I 've gone back to uni to do another course, I have tasks to complete and I just don't feel motivated to do anything at all. I m doing work experience and I don't care anymore. I m On list to see therapist at the end of month. I'm usually active person and maybe it's the anxiety that kept me going but all I do now Is not to do anything at all I lay about and sleep I postpone everything I need to do is this normal? I have no energy or drive, has anyone else experienced this?

I have had a really tough year, and was prescribed citalopram 12 weeks ago, started on 10mg for 2 weeks then 20mg ever since. I haven't been feeling any better, I have been going through a break up so its hard to know what's heartbreak and what's depression but the only thing that's seemed to be improving is anxiety which was taking over my life.
I still wake up most days not wanting to move, feeling hopeless and like I don't want to be here (I wouldn't physically hurt myself) and non stop crying and fear of the future and low self esteem. I used to be so confident and outgoing and happy, my world has crashed in the last year and recently I spoke to my doctor who has raised the dose to 40mg which I have now been taking for 3 days. I feel absolutely worse and again not sure if it's circumstantial. I feel embarrassed In Front of my friends and family as one minute I'll be crying and struggling to breath having a panic attack and the next I'll be laughing and smiling. Has anyone else suffered in the same way? I am hoping that this dosage is what I need but I'm just having teething problems. Right now though I feel very scared and worried it's not going to do the trick if I feel like this.

I'm about 6 wks on flu now and had at last a few good days this week, less nausea brighter mood, more energy -very welcome feeling.
Think having a blip today as feeling very sad and cried for first time in a while. I'm sure it's just a random 'not so good' day as a few tests over the last week have meant hospital visits, not eating before hand, taking meds different times and long days. So i'm trying to take it on the chin and hope tomorrow is better.

A few nights ago I was fooling around with my girlfriend and I had a normal, fully-erect hard on. But by the time she had her hands on it, it wasn't a full erection anymore (that's not the problem though). She was masturbating me for a while but I got an emergency call and had to leave. Next hour my balls started hurting, but I know I had blue balls and it was perfectly fine the next morning.
However ever since that night I cannot get a full erection. It gets hard, but still feels a bit soft, not like it used to be. I feel not much sensation when masturbating and when I ejaculate, there is no orgasm. Also my penis, when not hard, feels a lot softer than it normally is (it's usually firmer, but now it's just really soft). There is also a red mark on the glans that's painful to the touch, it's been getting better the last few nights but not completely healed yet.
BTW I'm 17 and uncircumcised, live a healthy lifestyle with physical activities on a weekly basis and a healthy diet. No alcohol or drugs.

Okay so I've finally plucked up the courage to take my first blue pill (after nearly 3 weeks of putting it off and many meals out wit friends later)
I just wondered if anyone had any examples of meal plans and what they've been eating just so I can start off on the right food and avoid any accidents early on which I'm sure will put me off completely.

A few days ago i went a jog then took my dog a walk. It was raining the full time. I came back and sat for 10 minutes before changing out of my wet clothes. I noticed my fingernails went blue/grey on and off for about 10 minutes.I took ages to heat up too which is unusual for me.Last night the were more of a purple colour and quite sore/tingly at times feeling like it would feel if i tied something around my finger. Tonight they are normal colour, slightly purple at times on some nails (when you look closely for a while) and dull achy pain on my fingernails every little while. I have social anxiety so cant go to doctors.Just wondering what people think it could be.For a few days before it happens i had been feeling dizzy so i really think it is just anemia but does this sound normal if it was that? There are no medical conditions at all in my family.
