Joebloggs91 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Hi guys, I've recently come out of a relatively short relationship that has hit me pretty hard. It's the second one this year and has knocked me for 6. What's making it worse is I'm currently on Citalopram mainly because of stress and anxiety with work, but the relationship ultimately triggered it. I'm only a week into the drugs but have been feeling such paranoia and anxiety about her. What she's doing, who's she with, were there other reasons why she broke it off with me? I'm hoping it's a side effect and it will fade over time but I'm interested to hear if anyone else has been on Citalopram whilst going through a break up, and if it made them more anxious and paranoid about it all. How long did it last for you? I've temporarily deleted my social media accounts to limit me checking up on her, but I feel so incredibly lonely and cannot get her out of my head 1
NIGHT1985 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Sorry you're dealing with that, I'm not on any meds, but I need to be. My anxiety is through the roof, and it's been that way for months. It completely controls me at times and it's almost impossible to keep my mind at peace. I hope you get yours under control, just do your best to continue avoiding contact with her or spying on her through social media, it'll make it 10x worse. I have mutual friends with mine, and they ended up telling me way too much info about her life with her new guy, you don't wanna get updates on her going forward.
Penguin_hugs Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Citalopram usually takes at least 2-3 weeks before you start noticing any improvement at all in your feelings- so it's early days. Also it's not going to magic away all of the pain. Antidepressants tend to work as a crutch to keep you ok, while you deal with everything else yourself. Good luck
Heatemyheart89 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Hello Obsessive thoughts are normal and social media checking does make it worse . I've never been on anti depressants but I hope they work for you . Be gentle with yourself . Things will get easier . Go no contact if you have already . It hurts , but you evil be surprised what you can get over when you want to
