Brad.... hi and welcome.... it's very possible you could be experiencing calming effects of Citalopram and that in turn will have a positive affect on the depression.

The symptoms you describe while in busy areas, is typical of depression.

Hope you find the Forum helpful

Thank you. I do find this forum really helpful as its easier to talk to people who understand this illness. I feel calmer on citolapram which I needed and haven't had many side effects. I'm going back to docs tomorrow for check up so we'll see what happens.

Had a bad panic attack last night, really hate them as they are the worst part of this. Don't feel any calmer today but gonna take my citolapram soon so hopefully will start feeling better

Hi Brad,

I've suffered terribly with panic attacks. But I find them easier to deal with now. I went on a stress management course and one of the units deals with panic attacks. Since then, I am able to control an attack, and even stop them when I feel one starting! I highly recommend. It's totally free. I got mine through the counsellor at my GP surgery.

Hope you're feeling better now x

[Brad2701]

I'm going to check with my doc about that thanks. Feeling better today so just taking each day as it comes. How is everyone else on the forum??

Glad to hear you are feeling better today, panic attacks are very frightening.
