"worked extremely quickly for me and had a strong effect on a low dose. was on it for 8 months with bearable side effects. transformed my life for the better; more energy, better focus, more positive thinking, more socially inclined. 

saved my life when i needed it but had side effects for me including: constipation, bloating and gas (all day every day), and occasionally a jittery feeling or increased anxiety. 

i had to stop taking it because it caused high blood pressure for me. none of the doctors believed that citolopram was the cause of my unusual high blood pressure (i&#039;m young, active, and thin) but i tapered off the medication and my blood pressure went from stage 2 high blood pressure (really really scary high) to completely normal."
