Anyone got any experience of it? I've been prescribed 5mg for anxiety & panic attacks. I've tried Sertraline, which made me feel much better but gave me a terrible tummy, and Fluoxetine, which just made my anxiety worse. I've read it kicks in more quickly than others in terms of side effects?

I have been on Citalopram since last March. I started out on 10MG and it has worked great. I did have headaches and loss of appetite, but other than that, it has worked greatly. I have taken it for about 6 months, and I recently upped it to 20MG after taking a very stressful job. I have taking that for about a month. It is working and I still do not have a lot of appetite, and I am sleepy and tired a lot, but other than that, I have had no other problems, as for now. I have some days where my anxiety kicks in, but it is under control.
