Hello everyone~
I'm Hayley, and I'm 21 years old. I've been on Citalopram for a little over a month for anxiety. Started on 20mg, now have been on 40mg for a little under three weeks. Although my anxiety and panic is better, I still am having disturbing thoughts and sometimes feeling anxious and down for no apparent reason. I called my doc office yesterday to tell them that I'm still having ups and downs. She now wants me to take Effexor instead. However, I'm going to try and tough it out with the citalopram for another few weeks, as that is when my next appointment is. I've never been on anti-anxiety/depression meds before, so this is all new to me. I'm very scared to get off of the Citalopram and start a new medication. :ohmy: The side effects from citalopram were AWFUL. Does anyone have any advice/opinions about this medication? Preferably good stories please! :)
