View Full Version : Citalopram still not working?
Hi guys. I've now been taking citalopram 20mg for about 7 weeks. I still get very anxious, mainly about chest pains and dying and confusion about life. I am still waiting for the day I wake up feeling wonderful but I'm starting to believe it won't happen for me. Is it still early days? I feel very ill and think I have an underlying illness, I feel dizzy and nauseous a lot of the time. Anyone got any advice for me please! I think I'm going nuts lol x

Hi
You need to do "other" things alongside medication as that alone will not cure you of this
Are you getting any therapy and doing any self-help things?
Nope I think I'll make an appointment with the doctors tomorrow and ask for cbt or something. Just don't know how to go about it, I can't even explain how I feel I'm that confused :(

Oh cammy I hear ya loud and clear!!
I think the dizzy n nausea is the worst bit!
I have been on the upped dose of 15 for zbout 4 weeks,
Was doing good until I came down with dizzy flu like symptoms a few days ago,
Now I feel awful again, dread on waking with that anxiety in my stomach.
Feel like not hungry again. What is happening? Have the meds been messed up CID I had a cold? Or am I just bad again??
It's really hard to no what's what with this crappy anxiety.
I have booked for cbt, just waiting on hearing back now.
Maybe you should try that.
Have you been on cit before? I have last year and came off too soon, which is why I'm back here again!!!
Maybe you should speak to your dr about upping? They do work you have to give them time. I found that reading Claire weekes books helped x

Well I was the exact same! After I felt better I stopped taking cit, then within a few months I felt terrible again. So I wish I never stopped taking it. I'm now about 7 weeks in and still feel terrible. I'm going to call the docs tomorrow and see about cbt. How do I ask? I think he will say it's not necessary :( xx
the dizzyness can be due to anxiety tho,
