It usually takes 4 weeks to kick in.
You should really be seeing results by now but it would be different for everyone.
See what your Dr says, I think 20mg will definitely help or you may need a different anti depressant .
Hope you feel better soon xo

I know how you feel Lynne it does work it just takes its damn time. last time I was on citalopram I didn't even notice I wasn't getting panic attacks. it took months to level out but I didn't have panic attacks for 3/4, not one. I was also different by that I mean more chilled, more confidence, helped with my self esteem in that I wasnt over thinking. I didn't notice just how much it done until I came off.
I tapered off and now I'm back on and like you it's kinda hell. I was good for weeks and its resurfaced yesterday but today I feel better. this is how it is for a while. morning anxiety is the last to go for me but it eases off. I'd say during panic the intrusive thoughts are the worst but it always passes and you get through it. maybe you should try some CBT if you haven't already x
