"i&#039;m 24 and have struggled with major depression since i was 14, with past self harm, eating disorders and suicide attempts.

i started citalopram just over a year ago and take 40mg per day. i have found it has really helped me. the biggest side effect for me is the tiredness and fatigue, i am very sporty and a fitness instructor so this has a huge effect on my motivation and training. i also find it affects my university studies. although on the flipside i actually feel normal and rarely have suicidal thoughts or feelings of hopelessness. so i guess the tiredness is worth it.  oh and i have crazy dreams!"
