[Roodog]

Hi I have been talking citalopram 20mg for two weeks now and 10mg for two weeks before that I am still very anxious in the mornings get better pm and had a few panic attacks, how long does it take for pills 💊 to start working and do they work

Thanks

My partner is taking them as well. They told him 6 weeks before they'll work. And in the first 6 weeks the side effects can be quite bad. And it should be working after 6 weeks. They work well for him but he suffers insomnia ever since he started taking them.

when does he take them morning or night?

Hi there my experience with my meds took 3 weeks to start helping me I am on fluroxitine have been for years .I thought I was doing great so took a break for 3 months and had a major relapse what ever is in the fluoxetine works for me .I do feel anxious through the day still but better than been laid up in bed with vomiting and diareah for 5 days .that's the way my body heals itself if I relapse. Body says enough it's time to heal and rest which is not fun at all.hope you feel better soon

That's still a relatively short period Roo - the fact you are feeling better PM is encouraging - early days but you are on track (I've been on citalopram 20 for 15 years)

Better times ahead 👍

Thanks that helps me a lot

Do you drinks alcohol now with the pill 💊 I have not drink anything at all since having these attacks

Hasnt slowed me down at all Roo - its a critical part of the recovery process, I find ! Just a few beers and an occasional glass of wine for me. Good luck matey - you're well on the way back 👍
