"citalopram  works great for me. i&#039;ve been on and off of it for about 5 years. when i was on it several years ago it was like night and day. i have major depression and general anxiety. when going back on it most recently (4 months ago), i started at 20mg for the first month. the first dose helped my anxiety immensely. within a few weeks my depression lifted some. i&#039;m now on 40mg again and it is definitely helping, but i feel like in the past it worked better for the depression. so today i&#039;ve started 5mg abilify  in addition; hoping it will help some more."
