Start of week 5 of taking 10mg of cit my low mood seems to have lifted sllightly, but still no appetite and feeling tired. Also still getting horrible tight knots in my stomach every morning although it calms down through the day by the evening I'm fine then it all starts again the next day any reassurances that this will get better please

Hi Jean,
It will and, it helps if you can, try and ride the side effects and focus on the positive end result. It is like being on a rollercoaster wearing a blindfold sometimes. So why not take it as fun (okay, bit of a weird analogy, but, eventually, worked for me! Check some of my replies to other forum-ers!
Hope yer managing to have a good bank holiday!
Regards,
David
Hi jean how was u on there on the first week?
Hi Jean,
Things will only get better Jean It won't happen overnight.Dave has said it right.Think on the positives.I know it's hard as I had to stop focusing on taking the tablet and looking for improvements everyday then when I had a bad day I thought well I shouldn't be having a bad day because I've taken my tablet but it doesn't work that way so from then on I pretended that I was taking an aspirin every morning.That worked for me.
There is light at the end of the tunnel Jean and you are doing something to get to that light even though it's a bit bumpy at the moment.
I've been on citalopram 20mg for 17 months for depression and now I'm reducing the dose which I never thought would happen.
Good Luck Jean.You're gonna be fine.Xx
