"i was very depressed after experiencing loss of two family members within 2 weeks. started citalopram 10mg once a day for a week then went to 20 mg once a day. 

the first week, there was no change in me. the second week was much better. i was always a quiet , non talkative person but now i speak a lot more and am more sociable (which i don&#039;t really care to be) but considering the alternative...

this drug definitely helped with the depression. i&#039;ve only been on it a little over 3 weeks now. i did experience side effects such as headaches, not being able to fall asleep, and i&#039;m very jumpy...a small noise or whatever will startle me. but i&#039;ll gladly put up with those for the relief this drug has given me."
