Hello,

I’m new here. I’m very early days into my medication. I’m starting to have a few good days but this morning I’ve woken up far too early and have many thoughts running around in my head. All of them are negative and telling me the worst thing that could happen in every situation!

Does anyone have any encouraging thoughts on how and when Citalopram will help? I feel so confused and drowning in my thoughts

It could be down to side effects of the citalopram unless you had these kind of things happen before you restarted the citalopram

I've been on Citalopram for 8 years and it has literally been a life saver. Yes, it can take weeks for everything to settle down. I turned into party boy for 6 months but eventually your body will get completely use to it. Everyone reacts differently and there is no one size fits all but stick with it as it will really help you cope with life.
