Emotional!

[moomin1]

Am on week 9 now of Citalopram 20mg and feeling strange! Feel very up and down the last couple of weeks. But the strangest thing is that today I feel very emotional - I have already cried for no real reason and feel like the slightest thing could set me off! I don't feel depressed in the same sense I did before the Citalopram but just suddenly feel overwhelmed with emotion! I felt emotionless before so maybe I've now gone to the opposite end of the spectrum!!

Anyone else experience this on Citalopram?:shrug:

Hi moomin. Yes i do get this to...... an its so frustrating because when i first started on the cit,i found it relly hard to cry when i thought i needed to.,an now it just comes.I belive it to be apart ov this journey we go on wiv anx/depression.

Lol! I know exactly what you mean! I only started all this back in November 2009 and diagnosed in December! Didn't start Citalopram until two days before New Years Eve. I have a friend who suffers depression and she is on 50mg Citalopram. I may see how I go on this dose for a while and if I'm still up and down will see what the doc thinks about increasing.:)
