Citalopram high?

Not open for further replies.
I have started an SSRI recently, and am actually kind of upset it hasn't rendered more sexual "side-effects". I know, I am a freak, but I feel better when I go without masturbating, and I am not in a relationship so that is that. Not that I don't enjoy masturbating, but it is just messy, and there is something I like about abstaining from it. Not healthy probably, but so are a lot of things I do.
 
how do i go about getting prescribed lorazapam?

my doc also treats my dad whom is a bi-polar, severely depressed maniac. He is prescribed a number of different anxiety/anti-depressants and one is lorazapam. I know this treats my dad for his anxiety and mania episodes so i'm wondering how to ask my doc about it without seeming like a seeker.

because even while on citalopram - i still feel anxiety. I'll admit it's not as bad as it was but i still have attacks that can stem from no where. I want a benzo to mellow me out whenever i have an attack or have really bad social anxiety/ocd. my dad is prescribed it so maybe i can use that toward my advantage?
 
Suffer from anxiety mainly, have been prescribed propranolol previously to deal with shakes and tremors. Had been off it for 2 years but recent events made me get a re-up. Recent events have also made me depressed,so doc prescribed me citalopram 20mg. After 2 days taking it I feel totally insane, manic, panic attacks, semi-suicidal. Had to take the day off work today. The way i would describe the feeling is the tingly, nervous, nausious,paranoia type feeling you some times get just before you come up on an E. that kind of intense, slightly rushy feeling just before you come up that normally lasts about 10mins before you start feeling good. Well that feeling has been with me for 24 hours and has sent me loopy. Havent slept, been sick, shaking, feel mental. I'm not going to take anymore, I'm sure the side fx will ease, but the drug just seems so fake, unatural and mind altering. I'd rather just deal with this shit myself and retain my sense of reality.
