"i have been diagnosed as manic depressive, a.d.d. &amp; suffer from high levels of stress &amp; anxiety. i was on zoloft from 2004 (13y.o.) to 2013 (22), with my highest mg being 150 or 175. worked ok, but made me zobified. i still had panic attacks &amp; my mood was off. i&#039;ve been on citalopram for a month now, just 20mg, &amp; it&#039;s helped a lot. after having my son in 2013, i decided to stay off meds (weaned myself at 22 weeks bc of risk of defects), figuring i might be able to do this on my own. i noticed irritability immediately after he was born. it took me a while to convince myself i needed meds again, when i had an awful panic attack &amp; couldn&#039;t sleep. being on citalopram has decreased my irritability, &amp; made me a lot less nervous. i&#039;m even working!"
