    At first symptoms of anxiety might increase.

    It's better to start with a low dose and slowly increase to prescribed dose.

    Be prepared for side effects and an up and down period.

    Your body has to adjust to the medication and that can take time.

    Try to avoid alchol for the first couple of months. Cut down coffees and teas.

    Keep a journal with your feelings and physical symptoms.

    Use this group for support and trust citalopram it works for most people.
