    Unfortunately it will take quite a bit longer than 2 weeks. These meds work very slowly and can take ip to 12 weeks before you see a drastic change. Stay with your dosage and give it time. When starting meds, anxiety will be at all time high for first couple weeks, but improves with time.

    Hi Roby 54688/Citrolopram will take at least 10/12 weeks to work within your body and whilst that is working your anxiety will go up for 4/6 weeks whilst the medication is working through your body
