"after taking citalapram for 6 months now and previously years ago, i personally felt it hasn&#039;t worked at all with my depression. it has slightly helped my anxiety but my depression has got uncontrollably worse and i would get up to 40mg. i&#039;m now on mirtazapine, only been on it for a few days but that&#039;s set my nerves off. as after reading the reviews a side effect is weight gain and i certainly don&#039;t want to gain anymore weight.
