I used to have really bad phone anxiety, which I thought I'd beaten but has become much worse since starting a call centre job a few weeks ago. I have been prescribed Citalopram 10mg which I have started today, and took the first one about 2 hours ago.

First question: what side effects have others had, and how soon did you notice them? I've noticed in the last hour or so I've been getting a slight headache and a lot of drowsiness/feeling spaced out, but I don't know if I would be feeling any side effects yet or if I'm just working myself up.

Second question: when have others noticed their side effects dropping off and started feeling more normal? Do you find that you can function as normal in all areas still?

Third question: for anyone specifically taking these due to work or phone anxiety, have they helped you?

Thanks all in advance.
