Hi,
First time on a forum ever. Just looking for some advice and answers... I've been started on Citalopram 10mg 6 weeks ago for anxiety and depression. Going through a rough patch with my husband which came out of nowhere and being a mom of 3, looks like I can't deal with this normally!! It started working for me right a the beginning with minor side effects. My doctor just up my dose to 15 mg. Being on the med for 6 weeks is it normal to still feel the anxiety and have bad feelings/bad thoughts? I have good days and still bad days... I find the mood swings very hard to deal with as I don't know if it ever gonna stop. I eat well (always have), went back to the gym (I used to go 5-6 times a week before, but couldn't even think about it a few weeks ago), managed to keep working, but still not sure if the ups and downs are normal. How long does it take? Will I ever be free of this awful sensation I'm experiencing? It's really hard to accept!
Any advice or answers would be appreciated. I feel alone in this as no one seems to understand!
