Progress

So I've been on Citalopram for almost a month now. I feel great! I don't have nightly headaches anymore, I'm not constantly on edge, I'm not irritable. I feel like I have a lot more control of my life. I'm not sure if it's because of the meds or dropping sorority responsibilities or both. I relapsed once during the month and had a panic attack, due to a personal issue. Other than that, I haven't really been feeling panicky.
I wake up in the morning excited to be alive. I take pride in my appearance. I don't feel like a burden to my friends. I've even started dating again. I don't think I'm a lost cause anymore.
I do have one problem with the medication. It makes my stomach really upset. I've been taking the pills at night right before bed and I still wake up in the middle of the night with a gurgling stomach. Lately, the nausea has stopped, but my sleeping schedule is all messed up so I still wake up in the middle of the night anyway. The first month: A+
