anxiety and stress
"I was prescribed citalopram after a particularly stressful period at work followed by my daughter being involved in a serious accident. My anxiety and emotions were high and my resilience and ability to cope were very low. Started on 1st week 10mg increased to 20mg from week 2. Felt a bit nauseous at first but wasn't feeling great before so don't know whether it was the citalopram or just me. By about 4th week I realised that I wasn't constantly feeling tearful or breaking down easily. Now on week 7 and I feel better than I have done in ages, possibly for a few years if I look back. Was really apprehensive about starting these in the first place but so glad I did because I was so emotionally weak and now I feel so much calmer and in control"
