Citalopram
 
Today is day 6 of it and i admit...the first few days were the worst days of my life...it made my anxiety much much worse to the point where i needed some ativan. But im pretty good right about now.

Another symptom im really curious about is my chest feels like its vibrating, anyone know what this might be? Idk if its my heart or not, although i am having palpitations.

Glad to hear you're feeling more calm now. I'm not sure what the chest vibration might be. Hope you continue to feel better. Did you check back with the doctor regarding the effects you're having and see if it's worth continuing?

I was prescribed Celexa (Citalopram) about 4-5 months into my recovery. After taking one pill, I had horrific anxiety, I felt extremely violent, my stomach kept growling for no reason, my body was swaying back and forth...and it made me nauseous.

That was the last time I ever took it lol.

I'm glad that your starting to feel better. I always felt better when I took Ativan. Luckily, I've been able to battle my anxiety without taking any Benzodiazepines. Hopefully this medication, or another SSRI/antidepressant works for you and you can get off the Benzos.

Happy healing,

Nick
