Hi
For all of you just starting to use Citalopram and worried about whether it will work/side effects etc, then this is for you x
I was prescribed 20mg daily dose of Citalopram back in January 2010 for anxiety. (Ready my old posts) The first two weeks were awful with the dizziness side effects and I struggled with lack of sleep too. After 3/4 weeks I started to feel the old me was coming back and the sparkle came back. I could sleep properly, I felt like socialisng again and I could make plans for the future.
I've even moved house to a brand new location without any setbacks, and within the last 2 months i've been reduced to 10mg. I'm now weaning off and take 5mg once a week, so for all those who have doubts and cant see past the black days, please bare with it. I'm living proof that you can come out the other side.
Good luck everyone xx
