Hi fire blade,

There is a sticky in the citalopram forum (within the medication forum). This should answer some of ur questions.

hi every one just to say i have been on citalopram for 7 weeks now and its actually making me more loved up with my husband im way more affectionate ive always love him been the anxiety put me in a dark place and i started to isolate my self but now i feel like the little things do not matter so much and i show how much i love him with lots of kisses and i appreciate him more im more relaxed and the anxiety and panic attacks were wrecking me and making me exhausted but i feel like im finally dragging myself out of the hole thank god xx

hi yes i can relate to that i have been on citalipram for 3 weeks now and i feel more affectionate towards my partner. I feel a lot better as i to was in a bad place with anxiety through a marriage break up but the citalipram is helping me relax and enjoy normal life instead of panicing over things that don't matter.

I just started taking Citalopram Wednesday. For a week, I'm supposed to take 20mg and then I'll start taking 40mg. The problem is for the past three days after taking it, I've been extremely restless, anxious, and earlier I had a panic attack (I've never had one until now). Have any of you had these problems? The sheet that came with the medication said to tell my doctor immediately if I had worsening anxiety, panic attacks or restlessness. I don't want to call them if it is something that is going to go away with time. What should I do? Should I stop taking it?
