anxiety and stress
"In my late 20s on 10 mg a day - 7 days using the medication
I've been experiencing anxiety for some years now. With citalopram, I can finally make eye contact without feeling awkward. I would go to my college counselor for a simple evaluation on my grades and I would begin to sweat, then I'd walk out the office feeling embarrassed, asking myself, "why did you get so nervous?!" Nothing seems to irritate me as much, problems just roll off my back. I tried provoking myself into becoming worried by thinking about upcoming events that involve social situations, but my mind doesn't allow me to panic. Its like my head boxes the "uneasiness"! Now I'm anxious to go to school to learn, ask questions, socialize with worrying what people think about me!"
