weird citalopram side effect
8ftarc replied to 8ftarc's topic in Celexa (citalopram) / Lexapro (escitalopram)
update: I called my doctor and apparently a side effect of the generic celexa can make anxiety a little worse before making them/it better. I was advised to cut my dosage in half. I seem to be over the worst of it; back to work on Monday -

Hi, I'm new. I'm new here and to being treated for my depression and anxiety. I'm 6 days in on citalopram and for the last two days I haven't been able to leave my house. I have some of the dizziness and nausea, but not terribly so. Certainly not to the point where I'm unable to function at my job as an electrician. However the since of dread that I associate with the outside world has prevented me from leaving my house. I'm currently using my last personal day while typing this. This is not a problem I had before. I've always had the sense of dread but was capable of dealing with it. Is this a side effect? An anomalistic reaction while my brain chemistry adjusts? Any advice out there?

Been suffering with anxiety and depression (undiagnosed) all my life. Has gotten worse since my sister's OD in 2012. Finally decided to seek help and get treated.
