anxiety and stress
"Citalopram works exceptionally well long term BUT please be aware of the side affects for the 1st month or two. After suffering crippling panic attacks due to stomach problems I was prescribed 20mg Citalopram daily. For the next 6 weeks my anxiety and panic got far worse which has been the worst experience of my life by far.   Found myself at the doctors surgery or a hospital everyday trying to get some help, even begging to be admitted to a mental hospital. Finally I was given some diazepam, this did help short term which then allowed the Citalopram to kick in. After 3/4 months I felt myself feeling better by the day. Doctors though do not tell you that you that when you start taking Citalopram your symptoms magnify for a time so be aware"
