Citalopram Newbie!

Hello all!

I have been prescribed Citalopram for attempted suicide due to anxiety and depression.

I really want to hear people’s positive stories/experiences on this as all I’m reading is it doesn’t work and the side effects are dreadful.

Thanks!

Mel

Hi Melody. I too take citalopram. Hoping it helps with my anxiety and OCD. I've taken b4 in the past and I didn't experience any terrible side effects. Hope it works for you!

It can be really helpful!! If it doesn’t work for you try another. Sometimes it takes a little bit to find the right fit for you. But you may find that this is the one that helps a lot! I know a lot of people that it has helped!!!

Hi Melody,

I have not taken citalopram but I do take effexor. I totally understand your hesitance and specticism. Normally medicines like citalopram can actually take 4-6 weeks to really show a difference. Of course if you have symptoms that worsen contact your Dr. I hope it works for you and wish you the best. Take one day at a time. You can do this!
