I started 20mg Citalopram in January after being off work for 4 months from September because of being physically ill then bad depression, it seemed to really work for me (I was back at work by March) but then I had it upped to 30mg at the end of March because my Dad had a stroke and have just had it upped to 40mg this month. My gp said if I don't feel any difference in 4-6 weeks, we might have to find an alternative.
(I was on Sertraline for about 8 years but that seemed to stop working in September, then I tried Fluoxetine and now Citalopram. My sister is great on 20mg Citalopram).
Like you, I really want to feel better. I hate being depressed. It changes who you are and not for the better. I've just had my 2nd CBT session so I hope that helps.
I hope your gp visit is a positive one and that you start to feel better soon.

Thank you for sharing about this. I'm not a doctor, but if I were you, I would tell the doctor you needs different meds. There are scores of meds for depression and anxiety out there. Maybe this one just isn't a fit for you?
