      Hope we all get better soon. Yes i have had a few almost-good days. Compared to a month ago i feel better and not that much fed up with life, although i still am a bit, but not old self and normal.

      Today i have more anxiety and that fullness feeling in my chest and throat.

    Dear Ferim

    I have been trying to not answer any discussions about citalopram, but I will on this one. I have been on citalopram for about 10 years  now and the have helped me in a different way than I expected. I still have the depression and the anxiousness but I had a very bad stammer and that has now gone and I am able to talk on the fone to people without stammering and that is so good. You will have to give these tablets time to work on your  condition and as its only 5wks that you are taking them, stay on the dose of 20m for the 12wks and I hope they will start to improve your depression and anxiousness in time. Take care. Smile wink

      Thanks Angela. I am happy your feeling well.

      I hope it works for me as it did for the past 6 years. This time it seems to be taking longer to kick in. I will update as soon as i feel improvement.
