Hoping to get this when I visit my GP tomorrow, too. Fingers crossed.

Best of luck to you, Paul.

Thanks my friend. Take care

Good luck Paul. You are still on a very low dose, so you can increase it if necessary.

GP has refused to get me on this. Disappointed although she said I need to give the Citalopram more time to kick in.

Hi Logan,

Sorry to hear about the doctor. I don't know how long you have been taking citalopram, but you should give it enough time to work. If there is no improvement after around eight weeks you can consider alternatives. The benzos are basically short-term stop-gaps.

Hanshan - I think I'm about 5 or 6 weeks into the Citalopram, so hopefully it should start kicking in soon (properly)
