    I have found that taking the medication at 6 pm is best for me and allows me to sleep better after a few weeks of getting used to. The routine. Day time made me tire.

    Hi. I found citalopram better for me at night. But you may be getting anxiety as well which citilapram don't help. Worth speak to your doctor

      It does work for anxiety after the start up phase. I am also in it for anxiety and have been before. It worked well for anxiety which is often a symptom of underlying depression. Loads of people take it for anxiety. JMHO.
