As soon as i take the tablets i feel anxious and tired. This was bad when i went from 10mg to 20mg due to stresses in my life (after 4 years of 10mg) i had 6 weeks of heightened anxiety (still have it)
...and now im now two days into 30mg and i feel hot sweaty and even more tired.
Perhaps i should just go back to 10mg
Take them before you go to bed Neil - sleep through the worst of the side effects, especially if the make you feel sleepy. It worked for me and the negative effects were gone in a week. Im on 40mg.

Peter. Thanks for the reply.
Did you have morning anxiety? Does it ever go away?
Hi Neil
Anxiety isnt my main issue - although it is something I experience but manage. My main problems are chronic depression - a total numbness to everything, self loathing and poor self esteem. Citalopram is helping - its not a magic happy pill, but it has been effective for me with very limited side effects. I did seroxat and others many years ago and they were awful - Citalopram is a huge step forward.
Take care Neil.
