Citalopram
depression
"I have been taking citalopram for 2 months now, it started to work with me almost immediately. I think in hind sight I had been depressed for years, but was always very cynical of taking antidepressants, having put on a brave face to the world for so many years, then my brother committed suicide last year and I finally broke. I stopped going out, making excuses to not see people, cried constantly and couldn't handle anything even minutely stressful. Spent most days in bed not seeing anyone, my doctor put me onto 20mgs and the difference in me has been life changing, I had no side effects whatsoever and I'm so happy and able to cope again. Also like somebody else on here mentioned, I like the fact that I'm not completely void of emotion."
