"this was the first drug i was put on. starting at 20mg and over time increasing it to the maximum dose of 60mg. it&#039;s not very strong or effective. however, it does help and the side effects are virtually non existent.

these days i use it as a fall back medicine - if i want to come off the one i am on (due to side effects etc). i&#039;ll begin back on the citalopram to keep me ticking until i get another antidepressant to try."
