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&#039;t even leave my house. Right away I started to feel a release. The best way I could describe it was that I didn&#039;t feel constantly on edge anymore. I have been very drowsy pretty much the whole 6 years I&#039;ve been on citalopram. I&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s anxiety worse. Too much serotonin in the body causes anxiety so it&#039;s all about finding the correct balance."
