I've been on Cit now for a few years, and am still really appreciating and enjoying the lack of unnecessary anxiety, and not one single panic attack. My life is so very much better now.

But I remember, oh so well, how absolutely horrible, and what a ghastly place it was, when I first went onto it. I started on 20mg and goodness, I felt so absolutely dreadful in every way, for a vey bad few weeks.

But a friend of mind, who'd been through this some months earlier, said to hang on and give it a proper chance. So I did. And it worked. It works now. It really does.

So, however bad things seem to be, do give it a few weeks - at least four - to start having its effect on you. There is a good place out there, and I really believe that Citalopram helped me to find it.

Good luck and be strong. I know you need that right now, but keep at it.
