Hi ,
After having my daughter I felt very low, lonely and like the whole world was on top of me. The doctor gave me sertaline after a few months of taking them I felt fine and stoped .., very bad mistake
A couple of years later had a brake down felt like I couldn't cope and very anxious..
Doctor prescribed me sertaline again and the up'd it to 100mg but my heart started double beating I was feeling very sick and dizzy , but now the doctor has prescribed me citalopram. What are people's reviews on them ? I'm a bit nervous changing medicine
Also i don't sleep very well do these tablets help ?

The citalopram worked well for me while I was pregnant. It's hard to say the side effects that I had due to the pregnancy but keep in mind that everyone reacts differently to anti-depressants.
I hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi, I'm on citalopram. I found the first few weeks hard, but now everything has settled down quite a lot and I am sleeping better, eating better etc.
