A member asked:

Was given citopam to manage anxiety (which worsens my acid reflux) + other gerd meds. taken 2nd day and i feel so very anxious. is citopam too strong?

It depends : On how much u r taken , u can take 10 mg , 20 mg , 30 mg and 40 mg , usually medication and psycho therapy works better than medication alone.
