Thanks for your reply. It might be that I am focusing on the negatives too much. I think that sometimes I spend too much time dwelling on things. As you said, if you don't like the tune change the record. Stuff always seems so much worse in the middle of the night. I do get very worried and I read the worry section on here which did help a little about changing from what if I to a positive statement, I have never thought about that before. I think that this is a great forum.
Just wanted to let you know that I did read your post. I have no answer. I've been told that SSRI's don't work as well after reinstating. After leaving the psych ward I quit taking celexa. When I tried to start again it made me so sick I could not do it even at the smallest dose. The reason I quit was that it was not taking care of the panic attacks. I was still having them even in the calming atmosphere of the psych ward among all the new friends I had made. (still have some of those friends) Now taking a mood stabilizer on an as need basis. (seldom).
Thanks for all your messages of support and congrats for my trip to the city yesterday. I have had another very busy today visiting friends in a town a few miles away plus doing some last minute christmas shopping and going for a meal and I managed all this OK, but I wondered if I could just ask for some further advice. As I explained, a week and a half ago, I started back on citalopram (Celexa) after a 6 month break, prior to that I took them for 7 years(quite successfully). I did one week at 10mg and my GP advised me to go back to 20mg after one week, so I have been taking 20mg since Saturday, today is Tuesday and I still feel quite anxious (It feels like part of my brain is missing on the left hand side and also a little bit on the right side too, It also feels like there is adrenaline pumping through my arms and shoulders) I had a terrible nights sleep yesterday and I kept thinking that does this mean that I am depressed as well as anxious, am I getting worse, does this mean I am going mad and how will I get through Christmas which is normally so happy for me. So comforting to know you are there
