    How long before Citalopram starts having some affect?effect?

    On my 12th day of taking Citalopram and just wondering if there is an average timescale when I may start to notice some affect its having.

    I keep telling myself that it will start having an affect soon, thats just to try to make me feel more positive but I would hope that at some point I do notice something.

    I was on fluoxetine a while ago for 3 months and noticed absolutely no change whatsoever in my anxiety.

    I'm on week 3 now and although I have noticed some improvements I'm still not feeling that great. Finding the side effects hard to manage, and hoping they'll kick in soon!!

    I started feeling better about a month after and its so worth it i would recommend just giving it time to work properly and hopefully you will feel much better
