Take your time. Its good you have built up your dose gradually... this might have alot to do with not suffering with so many side-effects. 20mg's is the minimum dose I believe. It might be as high as you ever need to go! I never went above 20mg's... and im currently on 10mg weaning myself off them c...

Ive been through alot of what you talk about, especially things fearing death and illness, constantly. Usually its heart-attacks, or anything fairly 'instant'...

Ive been on citalopram since january of this year. First, you gotta understand, everyones different, and so the effects and duration before you notice the citalopram improving your emotions and feelings of anxiety... For me, it felt like a decade.

Adrenalin... and lots of it... combined with terrible thought patterns that started to develop(probly even before my recolection), especially when considering my health and my own demise... just got me over-thinking and worrying... I cant really pin-point anything exact like i wish i could. But ive ...

With me it took about 6weeks on the tabs to feel like something positive was happening, but about 10 weeks for me to be nearly 100% anxiety free. It really worked for me. But its not a perminant solution.

I used to use this forum alot during early 2006 with my panic/anxiety/stress. I started taking 20mg of citalopram and this forum got me through struggling to adjust but as the months went by i got better and better, until pretty much i couldnt see panic attack or stress insight, so once that hit me ...

whoa... I know EXACTELY how you feel. I get terrible compulsive thoughts about dying all the time... and yes, if anyone is to mention HEART ATTACK i go into a panic... and i can almost see it and feel it happening to me... most strongly when im left on my own... i start to wonder what if something g...

I have had this before, it is so unpleasant.

I think deep down you know this is anxiety. But you need clarification. If you havnt already, go see your doctor for some assurance and a general check up wont do any harm.

As hard as it might be... try and sink your teeth into the fact all these chemicals, information... LIFE thats happening right this second. Everything thats going on around us is an absolute miracle. And you will not gain a single thing from making yourself unhappy about it. But i understand its har...
