I asked my doctor if i could go off my citalopram 5mg. I told him meds causing my racing heart and my feeling of being anxious. Doc said lets give it a try. So i did not take yesterday and today i feel almost normal no racing heart no anxious feeling so now I know the meds causing some of my problems. Hope it lasts. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi Daisymae, I feel for you. My first panic attack was like that. I didn’t know what was happening and I thought I was going to freak out. I couldn’t catch my breath and was shaking like a leaf.

It took a couple of years until they figured out I had anxiety. What has helped me is now I know what they are and they won’t hurt me, I’ll just feel like hell. Stay positive and you’ll feel better.

Thanks Wally
This virus thing seems to be getting to me. And now I’m hearing it’s just a cover-up for something bigger that’s coming.

Please try to relax. All the conspiracy theorist need to quit putting this non sense out unless they have absolute proof. i know it’s tough times but we’ll get through this.

How long have you been on it? Sometimes an SSRI like citalopram has some weird side effects for the first 2-3 weeks like that, then they go away afterwards.

Feeling much better for last couple of weeks. Doc gave me Valium to use if I get anxious and it does help also helps me to get a good nights sleep which i have not had for months. I know not to rely on Valium too much as it can become habit forming but i only take 5mg if needed. Still have no energy even though i am getting sleep still feel tired most of the time. Getting some exercise by walking my dogs, I know this virus is in the back of everyones mind which does not help anyone that already has anxiety.
