Hi I'm starting my citalopram tomorrow. Any advice as to when to take it. I've heard night time is best. Is this an on going medication now for anyone. Has anyone managed without it after a month or so ?

I've been prescribed this for depression. Starting on a months supply of 10mg! I wanted to make sure I can take in evening cause I have an early school run every morning and didn't want to be tired whilst driving.
Thanks again

I've been on citalopram 10 mg for about a week for Bad anxiety that's causing depression. And my anxiety is much worse. I feel kind of foggy headed and really lazy tired. I still do push myself to get up dressed and maintain my household. Which I had no type of energy a couple weeks ago. Just afraid the side effects will never get better or that I'll never get better.

When we start any meds anti-depressants serontonin uptakes they will take time to process in the brain, if after weeks of nothing it can also be the dosage isnt enough or too much. Intially the side effects seem far worse than before as the meds can act like a paradox (I had major anxiety) once they settle it gets a lot better to the piint where side effects are barely noticable. I was lucky didnt have insomnia however before taking them I started a sleep ritual read before bed make sure I wasnt to hot in bed as I had bad sweats sometimes, avoid alarm clocks in the room reminding you of the time, there are foods and other things you can avoid etc etc however the biggest thing I learnt was if I had a bad night the next would normally be slightly better so it wasnt killing me and couldnt. We need to go to bed and slow the breathing and brain activity relax however you do that do it! naturally you will sleep try not stress about going to bed and not sleeping its a really bad habit!
Otherwise I wish you all the best hers to your recovery cheers!
