I am almost 12 weeks on 10 mg citalopram. The first few weeks I felt quite chilled out if not quite spaced out. My anxiety was very bad before I took it. I have had a few moments of feeling more relaxed but the last month or so it doesmt seem to have improved any. Im not sleeping which also ismt helping at all. My anxiety feels like its just as bad as before I started taking it. Im gathering there is no room for improvement?? Although im not crying anymore it hasnt done much for the anxiety. Im looking for some reassurance from people who take it that it will get better.... Ive tried other antidepressants and just cant tolerate any at all!

    So today I need a bit of reassurance, I'm feeling pretty anxious today, I guess during the summer months of lovely weather and bbq's (and alcohol) I feel like I'm drinking a wee bit too much, I would have a drink with friends or my husband 3 or 4 times in a week, I do love having a drink but it's the next day I feel anxious but I'm so relaxed even after drink I think sure it's good fun. Does anyone else feel like this after drinking alcohol ?
