Citalopram

I have started taking 20mg Citolapram for anxiety which has increased since my baby was born 5 months ago. This is my 3rd day... I've had quite mild side effects so far. Headaches and fuzzy/spaced out head first 2 days but not today. Feel a bit edgy but not too bad and am clenching my jaw a bit. Does anyone know if I can expect the side effects to worsen and how long the side effects last? Feel like I might be on edge as I'm waiting for some terrible side effect like a panic attack...

When I started it, I had quite severe side effects. The worst was feeling like I was drunk - I didn’t dare drive for about a month.
The teeth grinding didn’t go away for the whole time I was on Citalopram, which was over a decade.
