    I've been on 20mg Citlopram for 7 weeks with ZERO negative side effects. Have had POSITIVE results! It may be a life saver for me. Sorry about your results. I read that it may take 6 weeks for maximum effect. I dont know if it may include increase, also. Good luck to you!

    Hey Don. I'm just starting my 2nd month on 30 mg's after 8 on 20 mg's. Had some good days last week but woke up with anxiety today and felt pretty crappy. So I went for a long bike ride and worked on my lawns!!! Lol feel a bit better now but I'm going through what they call a blip. Hate those but I really beleive that things will work out with time. At least I'm hoping they are!!! We gotta beleive!!!!!!
