"i was on citalopram a few years ago for a year. it helped my sadness, my mood swings, my anger and irritability i felt day in and day out. it was a great med. my only complaint is how numbing it was to the good feelings as much as the bad feelings. i stayed on it because it was still better than waking up and hating everyday before it even started. the gas was almost intolerable only because i have chronic idiopathic constipation. i weighed out the good and bad &amp; feeling mentally good for me and especially for my my kids definitely won. i&#039;m now on it again...3 days in and already feel more calm and less moody. it&#039;s a great feeling."
