"i honestly can&#039;t praise this medication enough. i had previously been on fluxeotine which sent me into overdrive and in turn i had what i would class as a breakdown. i needed to come off them and i didn&#039;t have high hopes for much else. citalopram did everything i wanted it to. stopped the tears and allowed me to get back into a sleep pattern. yes after a year or so i think i may have became somewhat numb to some things but this was far better than what was happening previously. i stayed on the medication 8 months after the symptoms disappeared as advised and have now been off meds for a year and still feel very positive. i have my down days and tears but handle situations far better. i must state that medication alone will not work."
