I have similar feelings and they can feel very urgent and pretty alarming. I’m glad to hear you’re doing a lot better, you sound like you are definitely on your way! I am quite worried about the lockdown as I worry that I’ll feel worse when I’m stuck inside and there’s not really anything I can do about it. Trying to tell myself there’s nothing really to worry about though, there should be no reason that I’ll feel bad. Yes, but I already survived one lockdown, so I know I can survive it again. Try to stay in touch with your family and your friends (skype, zoom etc. !). It's very important. 23rd of January 2020 - Started taking Lexapro at 5mg daily. 29th of January 2020 - Upped to 10mg of Lexapro daily. 9th of April 2020 - Reduced to 5mg of Lexapro daily. 23rd of April 2020 - Stopped Lexapro at 5mg daily.

Heidi1 Posted Wednesday at 01:19 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:19 PM I’ve now been off citalopram for just under 6 months. In the last two months I’d noticed more days of having much less intense symptoms, OCD style intrusive thoughts becoming much more relaxed and spaced out and having more days of being able to enjoy things more, or at least put my attention to things. For just over a week now I’ve been in a horrible wave, feels about as bad as at the beginning, my symptoms are very intense and my intrusive thoughts are very strong. I thought I had been seeing some progress but now just getting discouraged as this feels so bad 😔 guessing this is just a setback but I feel like I need some reassurance! October 2019- started on 10mg Citalopram June 2020- increased to 20mg but had bad side effects. July 2020- switched to 37.5mg Venlafaxine, then switched back to 10mg Citalopram after 2 weeks. Came off Citalopram 10mg completely on July 20th Link to post
