Hello I have anxiety...it started after my 3rd baby"post partem depression"I had anxiety so bad Icould not care for my children...couldn't sit still pacing,well I am sure you guys know what it's like. I took paxil for 3 years (which worked)then weaned my self off for 3 years. Than I relasped and had full blown attacks again.Went back on paxil for 3 years than weaned my self off for 3 years. Well guess what...ITS BACK (see a pattern?)I am now on citalopram(my 11th day today) and just getting through the side effects were pretty rough! They have seemed to taper off now and I am starting to balance out a bit. I seem to have good and bad days. If I remember this is normal right? I also take ativan to help with the bad days. I have joined this forum for comfort,friendship and reassurance :D Hope to talk to you all soon
