"i was having an issue with depression when my doctor prescribed citalopram.  i have been on this medication for about a year now, and wanted to share my experience.  i was started on 20mg, and after a couple months, went to 40mg.  since then, the depression feels like nothing i can&#039;t deal with.  the other thing i came to realize while on citalopram was the extreme anxiety i had prior to taking it.  life is so much easier without all the constant worry and stress over trivial things.  the only things that bother me anymore are that which i really need to worry about.  i read a lot of the reviews here before deciding to fill my prescription, and haven&#039;t regretted it since."
