      Not much effect at the moment. Been on 30mg for 4 weeks and just started 40 tonight. Heard it might be 6-8 weeks for it to fully kick in. Was it the same for you ?

      It's nothing like the same jimmy.

      diazipam makes you drowsy and helps with anxiety. Citalopram helps the anxiety..bits you up the backside and fills you with the want to live and be happy.....eventually xxxx

      Sounds amazing ! My doc said If nothing happens they may add another med , but in being positive that this will work on its own. Fingers crossed.....still. 😀

    Unfortunately the higher dose didn't work for me - I took it for 9 weeks but it was too strong so went back to 30mg
