Hello everyone!
So today I went to the doctors after suffering with anxiety and minor depression. She prescribed me citalopram 10mg and said to take them tomorrow morning once daily. Anyone got any tips or positive feedback on these meds please as I’ve just come off sertraline as they weren’t agreeing with me. Many thanks💖

I just wanted to give something back to this forum , the wonderful people on here don’t know it but they have helped me through the worst 3 months of my life , this is the first time I have written on here but I read the discussions every day . I have had anxiety and depression and have been on 20mg of citalapram for 10 weeks tomorrow. I just wanted to reassure everyone that it does get better and you do feel back to normal , they do take the full 6-8 weeks to work . The worse part for me was the feeling that I was never going to feel normal again , but I do !
I had all the side affects , nausea , yawning , insomnia, anxiety , agitation, sweating , intrusive thoughts etc, but it has all gone and now I sleep all night . I had 3 months off work and wouldn’t leave my house . I’m back to work now and going out and enjoying myself . It’s only been 10 weeks but wow what a difference. So anyone that is going through it or thinking of giving them up please give them time , they do work eventually. It’s an awful thing to go through , the morning anxiety was terrible but I do have a wonderful husband and family who helped me through and were very patient. I really feel for everyone going through this but you WILL get through it .

Your right they do give you a confidence boost as well when they’ve kicked in , I wouldn’t leave the house , go to work or even take my son to school I was that bad but now nothing fazes me . I’m so glad I stuck to the citalopram ( I wanted to give up on them so many times ) xx

Hi that’s so refreshing to hear 😁😁
This forum is great in sharing experiences. I thought it was just me that suffered with anxiety at its worst in the morning, but from reading theses posts I’m not and that in it self helps x

Morning anxiety is awful , by week 8 it had gone completely , at the time though it felt like it was never going to end , I was counting down the days until I’d reached week 8 as it’s very true they take the full 6-8 weeks to work and then the only way was up for me . How long have you been on them ? Xx

Day 5 for me after a relapse. This group is amazing, I was a part of it last time around and it really does help especially for the darker days. I had a very bad night last night but when they kick in they really do. I’d say 2 weeks b4 you start to feel the positives so hang on in there and take each day at a time xx
