Citalopram
anxiety and stress
"I was prescribed citalopram (20 mg) for anxiety. When I first started taking it there were some side effects: excessive yawning, drowsiness, increased anxiety, nausea, decreased appetite. However it's been a little over a week now and these have pretty much subsided, aside from still being a bit drowsy. As far as its effectiveness, I wouldn't say that my anxiety is completely cured but overall I've felt like I've been in a better mood and state of mind, happier. And I do feel that my anxiety has gotten better although definitely not 100 percent. I'm going to give it a bit longer as they say the medicine could take a few weeks to fully work. Overall though I'd say I'm happy with it so far."
