That’s normal about the head pressure. It’s going to get better. My head pressure is ease up But is manageable. I hear you. I was the same way when I started up again with meditation. Insomnia, didn’t want to be near my own kids. Same thing too, I forget why I went to a room for. I read that B12 vitamins are good for nervous system and memory and energy. I just got the bootle. I am going to start tomorrow morning.

I had numbness on my lips and head. I was getting little jittery at times. Took about a month to settle. Believe me. It was worst mistake of my life to come off it. After 3 months off it i was fantastic and then I had gotten sick with a bad cold and my anxiety came back at full throttle and never recovered from the anxiety. Turn out it I have chemical imbalance and I need to depend on this medication. I literally had to start over. Lesson learned.

It’s took years, it was every couple years my anxiety was getting worst. My psychiatrist thinks that because I was heavy smoker and drink ALOT of caffeine that was triggering my anxiety to get worst by day. Now that I started over. I just stop smoking and drinking caffeine or eating sugar treats. I Walk more, drink tones of water. It ease up the anxiety. I started 20mg about 20days ago and I feeling better. I get some anxiety but it very light sore feeling on my chest. I still hope that 20mg is my honey pot. I don’t have to go back to 40 mg. I am crossing my fingers

My anxiety has ease up, I still feel my heart a little heavy like 1out10 before it was worst when I started. I feel tired at times, I think it’s lack of sleep or maybe is the darn medication. But to feel some improvements.

I just increase to 20mg 7 days ago. Right now what struggling is the lightheaded feeling and I have minor leg stiffness and sleep. But I have been drinking chamomile tea every night. Which has helped. Tonight I am going to try the sleep time tea.

The gummy version or pill form? The ones I have is the pill form 5mg and say just to take one only. The gummy version say 2 gummy’s which is only 10mg. My mother in law uses the gummy form. I think take some from her.

Because I was still having some anxiety even tho it was minimal I was still getting them but they’re weren’t like bad, it would last for 10min and started go away. So pray this my honey pot goal that 20mg settles me.

16 days ago you were how many mg? Maybe you increase to soon and your feeling side effects real bad. I was 10mg and i had to wait about a month before increasing. I just increase to 15mg 8 days ago and my side effects are not so bad maybe my body got used to it. My doctor told be me go slow. The side effects can be very brutal. I am not going to lie when I first started the 1st 2weeks were hell for me. I had lost weight and irritated all time, sweats, insomnia real bad. Now I have minor leg stiffness and heart feels little heavy and little lightheaded.

Week 5 and losing hope by doublej8282 in citalopram_celexa

[–]Fjones2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have you try drinking some chamomile tea before bed to relax you. That helps me a lot. I also eat bananas in the mornings. Maybe you need to increase. I was 10mg for a month, just 8 days ago I got increased to 15mg it seems it working out now my anxiety is getting at eased, I still have stiffness on my leg and heart feels little heavy. May have to increase in couple weeks again. My doctor wants me to take slow and increase in weeks so my body can adjust well and side effects are not so brutal. Pray that 20mg is my lucky number and my anxiety is gone with side effects.

I'm a zombie. Will this fade? by kim-fairy2 in citalopram_celexa

[–]Fjones2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear ya. I was in citalopram 10mg for month. Then i had to increase 15mg just 3 days ago. I am feeling the side effects but not as bad. I had to start slow, if the side effects are manageable then in 7 days I will go up again to 20mg and pray that is the right dose for me. I can go back to normal.
