I have GAD and was prescribed 20 mg citalopram 4 weeks ago till today 27/02/18 , my anxiety stems from the fear of having OCD since i read many things and saw many videos about it i developed this fear 3 month ago and i think about it and monitor myself for it all the time .

I experience alot of side effects i can talk about them if someone is intersted.

Till today i noticed very very small improvments but still anxiety in morning is there and thoughts are there and i wake up in middle of the nights because of weird anxious thoughts.

is what am i experiencing normal or should i consider to change medications ? since it should start working from 4 to 6 weeks ?

Thanks alot
