Has citalopram worked for you?

Has citalopram helped you with your anxiety/depression?

[Budgie]

I think it has helped my depression to a great extent. I'm not so sure on the anxiety side as yet, but I must say that's got a bit better, too. But definitely the depression is improving

I am feeling a zillion times better now, anxiety and panic attacks pretty much gone.

yes ive gone from being a nervous wreck very depressed and higly anxious all the time too carefree and back too my normal happy self - for me a wonderpill (tho the sickness was s**t at first)

I wish i could say it did but it helped a little but still felt anxious and panicky. Started on Venlafaxine 2 days ago, hope this works for me. Different drugs suit diffrent people.

Was on it for 10 weeks and didn't help me at all and was still having the bad side effects

I was on it for three years and it helped me alot with my depression and anxiety for that time!
Unfortunatly when my step-dad died I had to move onto something stronger

Been on the meds since Xmas - dreadful side affects at first - dont know how I managed to keep taking them but I did - 12 to 13 weeks on, still not convinced they are working - but do feel a bit calmer - but that could be the NLP sessions I have had

Im 9 weeks into taking the tablets and after horrible initial side effects i think they are definately making a positive impact on my depression. I also think its important to do as much for yourself as possible to for the best chance of long term recovery - and personally so far i am finding that exercise daily really helps, and im beginning to understand and challenge my automatic negative thinking with some CBT and although this is more ongoing i believe will stand me in good stead down the line.

Hmm, a fairly poor showing for citalopram in this poll. It helped less than half of voters to recover. I'm worried about how this drug increases anxiety and doesn't seem to cure it -- I'm suffering more from anxiety than depression so that's bad news.
