Anxiety and Stress
"After years of suffering from ever-worsening anxieties, I finally told my Dr &amp; she prescribed 20mg of Citalopram. I noticed w/in the first 20 mins or so of taking it I got super drowsy &amp; dizzy. I have vertigo, &amp; it kind of felt like that, but with the added drowsiness. This lasted for about a week &amp; then stopped. The drowsiness only came back after I drank alcohol, but even that side effect has since stopped. My family remarked how happy &amp; like myself again I was after about 2 weeks &amp; that&#039;s when I realized it was helping. I did notice that I couldn&#039;t seem to shut up, I had an increase in energy, loss of appetite, excess sweating/sensitivity to heat, lost 25 lbs, had mood swings &amp; extra trouble sleeping. I still feel way better now, though!"
