It should help with anxiety :( Maybe worth trying another if you cant stick it for a bit longer. Citalopram can lower your potassium levels so its worth being aware of this - tiredness is a symptom. The body does naturally adjust but worth looking at potassium rich foods as well, bananas, salty nuts etc.
