Hi everyone , i posted here approximately 2 weeks ago when i first started citalopram, i was desperate , i thought i had no hope of becoming normal again , it all started for me one day in august , as i was working at night i felt something weird going on in my head , i can not describe it as a headache or something else , and ever since i could not go out, well i could but i constantly thought i was going to die , my vision was a mess , i could not focus on anything on the street and i did not have any balance at all , after taking citalopram for 5 days i woke up one day feeling perfect but then again in the afternoon that feeling of doom , dizziness , inbalance and fear of fainting came back , i was determined that i was not going to overcome it ever in my life , when suddenly after the two weeks i started feeling much better, these feelings are still with me they are always there in the corner waiting for my most vulnerable moment , but i am not giving up , that was my story i think it will give some hope to everyone out there !
Good going!
I wish they would work that fast for me. Keep going and I hope you continue to feel better.
It's good to hear a success story.
Gives me hope.

That's great to hear.
I too am seeing positive results a month into taking them. I know they work anyway as I've been on them a couple of times over the last 10 years.
Still have funny moments but all in all I'm back to enjoying life, my kids, dont feel stressed, shaky, sick any more.
You'll get there.
To Carol Rothwell,
You have been on Citalopram a couple of times over the past 10 years? What happens when you go off them? Are you on 20 mg, 40 mg? I also suffered from acute anxiety, electric shocks in my hands, sore neck etc, a lot of symptoms I forgot until others here mention them. And they have all gone. But how do you get on top enough to quit the anti-depressants? Have you heard of the \"3 Minute Cure\" by a man in the US called Mike Freeman? Is this a con? Does anybody know if it works?
Thank you for your post Carol. It is great to hear positive feedback.
