citalopram

hi, I've been on citalopram 20mg for just under  3weeks for my anxiety. just wondered if anyone had any good results from this medication and how long it took to work?

I've taken it for a couple years.  It's the only SSRI that didn't give me insomnia.  It does take 4-6 weeks for the full effect, but you should be feeling somewhat better by now.  Also your dose may need to be upped if it just doesn't kick in after a month or so.  Give it a chance.  Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry, I was wrong.  You need to give the Citolopram 4-6 weeks for it to reach it's full therapeutic level.  This is the frustrating part...the waiting.  But know that each day puts you closer to feeling better.  I wish you all the best and hope you do as well as I have.

I've had depersonalisation and derealisation along with my anxiety so guessing it may take longer. good that's you've responded well to it.

I take it with wonderful results.  You should be feeling better after this amount if time, if not contact your doctor.
