    Hi Dlou

    I took Citalopram for 10 years on and off and the med really helped me, it used to take the edge off the panic. But it didnt stop the anxiety all togeather. A mixture of therapy and the drug worked best for me.

    Love

    I have just come off Citalopram after being on it for 5 months.
    Definitely helped my anxiety and mood. Unfortunately it made me worse initially while I waited for the medication to work. It took about 6 weeks before I started seeing a positive effect.
    Don't worry though because it will often work quicker than that. It is worth persisting with too even if you do get some horrible symptoms initially.

    All the best,

    Neil

    I second everything neil1975 says!

    I took it for 6mnths and the first few weeks were absolute hell - but I'm glad I kept on with it.

    Citalopram and counselling sessions really helped to sort me out!

    I'd go for it if I were you.

    I used it for about 4 weeks- I was a zombie and couldn't get out of bed and do basic tasks. My doc took me off of it. She said the symptoms should have lifted by then. I also had really bad headaches. I was only on 5mg too, which isn't much.

    I have heard really great things about this drug and understand it has the least side effects of the SSRI's so I think you should give it a try and see how it goes- I wish the best to you!

    Re: citalopram success stories?

    I took it for about 9 months.

    I was in a big mess so I couldn't tell the side effects from the actual hell I was in. But after 2 weeks the effects had lessened and my partner began to notice differences in me

    . It helped level me out to then begin the journey in getting better ( I also had therapy). I did feel emotionally numb but that was a relief after the roller coaster of emotions I'd been going through!

    I am grateful to Citalopram for leveling me out enough to gain strength to then start getting better.

    Don't expect amazing miracles - it is a very slow process. Hugs and good luck xxxx
