    I've requested that they only give me the one brand now as it really gives me a bad tummy when they swapped my brand recently. Your doctor can put a note on your repeat prescription so your pharmacist knows to only provide you with that particular brand.

    Keep going lovely.

      ive literally felt an instant switch this morning its crazy like one mintue i feel im never going to get better and then i feel completely normal. is this citalopram slowly starting to work or am i just going crazy.

      Citalopram is already working, that is why you are experiencing these symptoms. Up and down feelings like you've just explained are normal yes. The fact you slept until 7am is great, these better mornings will become more prominent soon and so will the good feelings.
