Hi Ricochet - tried them for 2 weeks, weren't for me. Not really bad, just didn't feel with it. Been prescribed a few things over the last 6 months, and the only one I wouldn't take again ever is Trazadone. I don't mind being a bit off but Trazadone turned me into a zomby.

Hi Rocochet. I'm on citalopram for about an year now. I was so scared as you are now, but they really helped me out and i'm a lot better. About the side affects i just had a light headache at the begining but went away as my organism adjusted to the pills. Try them, but dont think too much about side effects because its worst. If you feel bad just stop taking them and ask your doctor, they say there is a pill for every organism, may be these are for you may be not, just give it a shot.
Nothing terrible will happen!

Hi Richard

I've been on Citalopram (20mg/day) now for about 4 months. Intitally the side effects were horrible, headaches, nausea, tired etc but after about 5 weeks I started to notive a difference. I think it took 5 weeks for me as I had a couple of big stressors in the way during that period so I was running to stand still!!

In the past I have had amitryptelene and venalflaxine, Citalopram is definately better for me and I have noticed the difference.

Hope that helps

Iain
