I've been taking citalopram for just over three weeks now (20mg) and initially, felt so optimistic about the effects - I felt as if a cloud was being lifted. I still feel a lot better than I did before taking it, but i'm starting to feel tearful again, quite anxious and not sleeping well. I also feel a bit manic at times, and then totally fine. Has anyone else had similar effects?
I'm due to go back to the gp this week but I wanted to know if these feelings are 'normal' and if it's worth persevering with it.
Thanks!

Its perfectly normal as it takes our bodies a while to get used to cit. and cit is used to retrain our chemical imbalance's, so takes everyone different times but mostly 6 weeks, so stick with it and join the forum = Anyone NOT had any side effects on Citalopram? there are folk at all stages of starting and increasing Cit there to give you plenty of support, it got me through my bad times

he needs to stick it out, and he will return to his old self, get him to check in with Anyone NOT had any side effects on Citalopram? so many folk on there going thru the same thing and offering support. cit is used to retrain our chemical imbalance's, so takes everyone different lengths of time to recover.

Depression is one hell of an illness but, personally, I think you have to get rid of the cause before you get better.
I had everything go wrong with my life and, as I have no partner, had to deal with it all on my own which was hard. I'm determined to get my old self back.
