Hi Everyone, I started taking 20mg of citalopram on wednesday night. I was very nervous about starting but decided after years of anxiety and limiting my lifestyle I needed to try it.

I was worried about the side affects I would get and wanted to post for reassurance that these are what anyone could call normal?

I have felt extremely tired and exhausted and have been waking in the night. Last night when I woke I started to feel extremely anxious for no reason, and was thinking I was going crazy because of this medication and that I shouldnt of started it!

I feel like my anxiety has worsened since I started taking them and Im becoming paranoid I have made the wrong decision.

I just need reassurance that other people have felt like this and that Im not going to go crazy because of these tablets and should I keep taking them? Will it get better, worse or stay like this even though Im only on my 2nd day
