How long for antidepressants to make a difference?

[StrugglingMama26]

So I've just started 10mg of citalopram for postnatal depression and anxiety. I'm not expecting an overnight cure (although that would be great!) But can anyone who has an experience with citalopram or any antidepressant, share how long you felt it took for them to make a difference please?

Hello, sorry you're going through this it absolutely sucks but it will get better. It took me a good couple of weeks to start feeling better tbh as initially I felt worse. Keep checking in with the doctor.

Hi OP, I took mirtazapine and it took a few days but I started feeling better fairly quickly. They are all different though so it might take up to 2 weeks for some difference.
I had PND and anxiety too, had some weird and strange thoughts going through my head, I know it's tough and hard to believe but you will come through it OP xx
