Hi, sorry you are not feeling great. I was on Citalopram for about 9 months. Miserable start up side effects, similar to yours. It got better but I always felt off. Morning anxiety was difficult. After about 6 months I started a slow taper off. That was hard but I got thru it and feel so, so much better now. For some AD's are a life saver, I get that. But not for all. There are other options to consider. Keep that in mind. Best, Shane
