"i have been on citalopram for about four months now. i started at 10 mg and now i am on 20 mg a day. my personal experience has been great. i felt better within days not completely but the edge had been taken away which with the way i felt was a huge relief. i have been lucky to have had no side effects other that a slight decrease in sexual tension which i am good with.  though recently i missed three days because i didn&#039;t get my refill and i was knocked off balance a bit, don&#039;t miss your refills. i am grateful for this medicine, i was such an emotional mess before it."
