I was on 20mg citalopram for anxiety for just over three months and after the side effects had worn off ( clenching teeth, anxious, bit woozy) I was feeling great on them. At my next Dr's appointment I happened to mention that my sex drive had gone so he told me to try Fluvoxamine as this sometimes helps with the sex drive, which I did for two weeks and they made me feel horrible very down, insomnia, constipation and sick and still no sex drive ! So the Dr has put me back on Citalopram. What I wanted to know is, when I went back on Citalopram is it was like taking it for the first time again. as I dont feel as relaxed as I did and I wondered if it has to get back into your system ?:shrug:

Hi there
I've been on Citalopram on and off for years now. Each time I go back on them they take about 4 - 6 weeks to really reach the full benefit.
