I was just wondering how other people have found it? I've been on Citalopram before and had some really bad side effects so i'm a bit anxious about starting this...and also how long should it take to start working? I'm so desperate to feel better.

Thanks xxx

Hi Fix,
Ive been on it for 2 weeks and am just starting to feel a bit better, it might make you a bit more anxious to start with but it will get better in time. Main side effect I had was loss of appetite so if you live with other people make sure they feed you! Let us know how you are getting on and take care of yourself . X

hi
I've taken this and found it worked really well I didn't have any nasty side effects and took it for about 18 months. I found coming of the drug easy as well. I think for some it can take up 4 weeks to kick properly. When I was taking it the change in me was noticed by the family with my mum saying something like, you seem to be a lot better lately what you taking. So I think its worth trying.
Take care
