[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 336938, member: 6705"] Abbey - this is EXACTLY what I am on. Started last May and it was really helpful. After about 4 months though it seemed to have no effect any more (huge amount of stress too, so that hoovered). I got upset and quit taking it. Went back to the doctor in December, and he told me that sometimes after a few months the citalopram dose should be increased slightly, and it should be good. So he put me on the upped dose. For about a week I was way too even, couldn't cry, didn't get happy - and now my system understands it and I am me again. I like me. I do NOT miss the person I was for a few months there. I'm still on a very low dose (20 mg/day) so it's good. I will say this, the worst side effect (that went away) was being very sleepy for about 3 days. The worst one now is the constant need for liquids - mouth gets very very dry. And it's not messing with my sex drive, like most antidepressants seem to. In fact it seems to be working exactly the opposite. :winking: [/QUOTE]
