    Hi Megan it does sound good in a way as I'm on 3 weeks of 10mg of Citalopram and my appetite is ok but I'm wanting to get back to full appetite as that's a good sign in one way but not in another way as some people say they put on weight due to feeling better so catch 22!!

    Yes, I went through the same stuff. I lost 15lbs when I first started 10mg and it's been 9 weeks now I'm always hungry even after I eat. My stomach is always growling, I just try to eat smaller meals but like 6 times a day and it helps.

      I'm the same I had no appetite at the start then it turned to this do u think it's something that will go away? My doctor wants me to start on 20mg so I'm afraid it will get worse
