    i was the other way round, i was on setraline then out onto citalopram. I was on 200mg setraline, but completely drained me, i was sleeping 8hours a night and then falling asleep the folllowing afternoon for 4hours. It effected my sex drive, concentration and had a numb feeling constantly (feeling no emotions) i finally went to the docs, and they lowered the dosages, however, i felt no benefit, so we switched to citalopram, which worked for me (until it sent me into a high because i suffer from mood swing disorder but also anxiety disorder)
