I'm not on birth control but take citalopram ( for anxiety). I was very worried about taking it to begin with, being I looked it up before taking it. I finally decided I would give it a try and I am glad I did. The only side effect that really bothered me was being tired every morning. I am getting past that. And I did have a little more anxiety, which I spoke to the doctor about and she game me another prescription to help with it til the citalopram kicked in. I've only been on it about 3 weeks but I am noticing a difference in my anxiety and my moods are a little more happy! My kids even notice a change in me. Try it, and stick it out for a month, you never know, it may help. Sorry I couldn't give any insight of taking it with the birth control pill!

I guess I haven't heard of the es-citalopram. How does it differ from the other? I ave never been one to take anything on a daily basis but I really got tired of always being anxious and never wanting to do anything, so I decided what the heck. I am glad I did. I am normally a very social person and I am slowly getting back there.

oh I read all the horror stories on line about taking it and I got too scared to start it. I know better than that!! I thought I could do it without any help and it just wasn't getting any better for me. I talked myself into at least trying and did so and now I'm glad I did, as I didn't have hardly any side effects it seems, or at least not like I read!

I think I am going to tell mine to start! When she gave me hydroxyzine to help with the citalopram, I wouldn't let myself look it up or read the info with it so I couldn't talk myself out of taking it!
