I suffer from depression and anxiety have been taking citalopram for five days now. I feel tried and still having trouble sleeping. The anxiety doesn't seem to be settling down. I wake up in the in the night and feel strong anxiety in the morning. I have been told it can take four to six weeks.
Has anyone taken the medication and whats your experience
I am on day 9 and have had headaches and constantly yawning, feeling exhausted in the day but not able to sleep, dizziness, dry mouth and a bad stomach, and increased anxiety i am told these are all normal side effects and will pass but it is difficult to see the light at end of tunnel

You need to allow time, say if you change the medication, it will take additional five weeks for the body to settle with the new drug as explained. Why count the days on a medication you are sad to say making matters worse.
You have explained yourself, in early days side effects may be a problem however the more you churn over your Anxiety the anticipation of problems can possibly make matters worse
