Greetings, It's not a quick fix. Took about 8 weeks to work for my depression. As for anxiety I think it takes a little longer. I've just increased from 150 to 225. Still trying to reduce anxiety. It does seem to reduce your motivation, as part of attacking depression, I suppose that's the trade off for not feeling extremely depressed. I was on Cit for years too, and similarly, after a two year cessation due to feeling well and being on a tiny dose I came off. Anxiety returned and when I went back on, it pooped out. Keep going as it's early days.
