Has anybody taken Citalopram? What was your experiences and did you have any side effects? I've just been given it for PND

I took it for PND, had a little bit of nausea for the first couple of weeks but that's all.
Was on it for about 18 months I think? Did a gradual withdrawal and have never looked back. Absolutely saved my sanity. I hope you feel better very soon.Cake

Me! I'm just coming off it now actually, DS is 21 months old but I didn't start taking it till he was almost 11 months as I was just burying things and trying to get by.

It's great, it really worked for me. At first I felt a bit sick a few hours after taking a tablet, but that stopped after a few weeks and I've been fine since. Without sounding all Disney on you, it brought back the colour to my life and I managed to bond better with my DS. I always lived him and cared for him, but it wasn't till I felt the amazingly strong tug of love that I realised it was missing iyswim? Good luck, hope you feel better soon!
