New to the online community, started on Citalopram 20mg... been on it 3 weeks but have not seen a change except for 2 days where I felt normal but then back to the awful anxiety feeling. I also noticed that the medication doesn't let me sleep through the night. Can someone please provide some tips

I found that for the first couple of weeks it made my anxiety worse but this is normal and then starts to calm down, I would stick at it for at least 6 weeks, the thing with anxiety I find is you want a quick fix and for it to stop straight away because it is horrible, but give it a couple more weeks, hope your feeling better soon x
