Day 32 on Citalopram 20mg. I have suffered with depression & anxiety for years and recently it began to affect my work, so I made a GP appointment.
Symptoms (last 32 days, in chronological order)
- panic attacks (feeling of impending death)
- suicidal ideation
- nausea
- no appetite
- vivid night terrors
- disturbed sleep
- heat rushes and chills
- pins and needles in face
- intrusive thoughts (the worst being thoughts of harming my loving partner)
- constant low mood
- paranoia
- hypochondria
- general anxiety and panic
These symptoms won't often all come at once, but many will appear at the same time.
I am posting to show others that they are not alone. We are all fighting our battles. I was scared to take my Citalopram today but I did. My next GP appointment is on the 9th so I have to ride it out until then, at least. I just want my life back.
Every day is a struggle but forums like this one give me hope and if that is all I have, then it is enough for now.
If you have had similar experiences and are as scared as I am, please.post and tell me how you are doing. It would makeme feel better to connect with others on the same journey.

hi there
from my experience I believe there is nothing to fear from citalopram, and yes they can be very positive, but you just need to make sure and consult professional because these drugs take weeks to be effective, and you dont quit on the first days you look ok , but again consult a professional
however,
what we believe = feelings
what we focus on = feelings
if you believe life is sht , drugs cannot help you too much on that, you going to feel bad,
what you need to do is understand that life can be good, there can be good times,
