"i&#039;ve been taking 20mg of citalopram for over 3 months now and i notice quite a difference in my depression. 3 months ago i was crying almost everyday, often multiple times a day. i had no motivation, was not enjoying life and wanted it to be over. now i no longer cry for no reason, have more motivation and am enjoying life a lot more. some days i still feel depressed but i have way more good days than bad days which is great. i haven&#039;t noticed any side effects, although sometimes i feel like i am almost &quot;too happy&quot;. i guess i haven&#039;t been eating as much either but i would consider that a good thing as i was eating my emotions previously."
