Citalopram Effects
19 Answers
Hi, I have done a search and read past experiences on this anti depressant and am reassured that side effects do wear off. I was wondering though if anyone is riding this rollercoaster at the moment?If you would care to share experiences (feel I want to say favourable, but thats just my anxiety coming through)

But either the side effects wore off or I stopped noticing them after a pretty short space of time. I had tried a couple of other types before going onto them and I have to say - horrible though the side effects were, they weren't as bad as the other ones. I also started to feel the benefit pretty quickly. I was only on them for so long because I had avoided getting treatment for almost 2 years and had ended up in a pretty bad way. Stick with them but if things don't get better speak to your doc - it sometimes takes a while to find one that suits you. Good luck.
ive been on them about 3 months, it says they take 2 to 4 weeks to take effect, and with me it took the full month before they started to make me feel better, I thought they were never going to work. Im on the lowest 10mg, and the only side effect ive had is a very dry mouth and metalic taste, It says it causes sleep disturbence, but that was a problem I have anyway. Other than that I havent had any other side effects. They have taken the edge off my anxiety, my probems are still ongoing, but im coping better, and I do feel better for taking them.
Have taken them for years and probably for life. I can't remember ever having side effects, but I certainly don't get them now. However just recently I forget to pick my prescription up so was without them for three days and I felt odd for a couple of days - shaky, hot and cold flushes, clenched jaw, etc.
