Citalopram

Hello everyone. I am
New to this forum. I have been on Citalopram for 2 years now and I feel so much better. In fact better than I have been in years. I have OCD in the mind where I obsess and make things bigger than they are which leads to anxiety then to depression. But everyone once in a while I can find myself sitting and thinking and worry and say to myself your gonna go back to that dark place and then I focus so much on it that before I know it I have that pit in my tummy of anxiety. Takes a week or so to go away and then I am like what was I even worrying about. I am on 40mg of Citalopram. Is this normal ? I mean that I still get anxiety once in a blue moon?

Any comments are welcome. Just been racking my brain the past few days.

Hello Diane. I was on sertraline for over a year and it heightened all of my anxiety but being on Citalopram has really helped in so many ways. I feel more calm and less anxious. I felt the benefits at least 5-6 weeks in. Good luck my love. It’s going to be worth it.
