I am on day 12 of citalopram and the side effects are easing so I am feeling more positive, my appetite has returned too. Yesterday I stayed in bed and felt so tired, today my toddler has kept me bust and I feel so much better. Does anyone else feel this way?I just wish I was less tired but I know it's very early days and that would come

    I felt shocking on day 5, it's rubbish that they make you feel that bad however the horrible side effects should wear off really soon then you can focus on getting better x

      It can be! Everyone is variable however i have never heard someone say citalopram didnt work for them I have only heard people say the dosage was wrong and it took potentially longer however week 5 is still pretty early (i know right) hang in there focus just on the light at the end of the tunnel its coming!!
