anxiety and stress
"I have been on 40MG of citalopram for 6 years. I am a nurse. I had really bad anxiety where I couldn't even leave my house. Right away I started to feel a release. The best way I could describe it was that I didn't feel constantly on edge anymore. I have been very drowsy pretty much the whole 6 years I've been on citalopram. I'm going to try cutting back my dosage to 20 MG eventually here and see how I manage on it. I have tried other SSRI's that have made me more anxious and each medication effects each person differently so remember that! While citalopram works for me it may make someone else's anxiety worse. Too much serotonin in the body causes anxiety so it's all about finding the correct balance."
