    I am on 20mg citalopram - just finished 3rd week. First week felt sick and had upset stomach with them - also felt weird, lack of concentration did lots of silly things and kept forgetting stuff. I started taking at night time about an hour or so before bed and sickness has passed or i am sleeping through it. Not sure how good they are - still feel anxious but not as intensely as before - will wait and see...early side effects have passed - took about a week

    I was on Citalopram 40mg x 3 daily for about 5months. First 3 weeks were the worst of my life, but then ..... relief! Don't know if it has anything to do with being female, but they worked for me and I managed to come off them with no difficulty...2 daily for a week then stopped! I think they probably can take a few weeks to work so try not to give up just yet.
    Hope this helps
