How long does Citalopram take to start working

[fraggletits]

Hi

I've been on citalopram for 2 weeks. Week 1 I was on 10mgs and then upped the dose to 20mgs. Have not had too bad side effects - definitely a bit of drowsiness here and there. Have had a couple of nice days over the last 2 weeks where I've felt happy and stress free

But this weekend I was so low. Just wondering how long it should take to kick in as I thought it was about 2 weeks.

Thanks

Took 3-4 weeks for me. Stick with it for a bit longer.

ok thanks kate

I seem to be feeling what I think must be effects one day then not the next. I'm guessing that's normal (plus I do have a bit of stress still in my life at the moment)

Definitely took at least 3 weeks to kick in for me. Keep at it for a bit longer, you can always go back and change it if it doesn't suit you.
