      hello im glad youre feeling better than previous days 😃

      i have a headache most days on the citalopram, i drink lots of water during the day which helps a bit, im getting there i think, im on week 7, lots of ups and downs and strange sensations, thinking of increasing to 20mg but so scared of start up side affects again
