Hello.

I had a good week coping with my PVC'S, but today I feel like they are getting the better of me!!
And because I take citalopram at 10mg I've convinced myself that I've developed long QT syndrome now!!
I'm tired of being on this rollercoaster of emotions and want to get off this ride!!
I keep trying my coping skills that my CBT therapist taught me...focusing on other things ECT..but it don't seem to be helping today!!
I'm due for my period and wondering if hormones are playing a part in my mood?
Staying strong is really hard!! mad

I'm not much help on this subject but from what quite a few other have said the answer is yes, I am up and
can't sleep but didnt not want to try and give you some peace.

I would say yes that your monthly is part of it. I hope that things are getting better for you though.

I thought the citalopram would maybe work with my PMS symptoms! But I'm wrong!! Iol.
I've been on the meds for 6 weeks now and have noticed I'm calmer but silly old me decided to Google citalopram and scared myself thinking I have long QT syndrome from taking the meds!!
I really am my own worst enemy sometimes!!
.......I really wonder what it must be like not to be an anxious person!! :-)

PMS definitely contributes to symptoms! You can do a search here if you would like to read more on this subject...we have many threads to check out!

I have never even heard of the long QT complication in connection with taking Citalopram...so I am assuming that this is a very RARE possibility.

Remember...the drug companies have to put those warnings on the labels as a 'CYA' tactic. Even if there is the smallest, most infintesimal chance that it may ever happen.

You are not going to be in that percentage.:)

I hope that you have a peaceful and symptom free day...do those coping skills!

S.C.
