depression
"I've been taking citalopram for about 8 months now for mild depression and anxiety. I started off taking 10mg and have slowly increased to 30mg. I haven't noticed any change in my low grade depression, but have noticed that I'm less anxious in social situations. I'm going to stop taking it after talking to my doctor because the side effects aren't worth it for me. I sweat profusely which offsets the social anxiety benefit as it embarrasses me to be so sweaty (it's summer in South Carolina). I'm also really tired all the time and constantly crave food. So far I've gained 15lbs since starting citalopram. Overall, the minor benefit doesn't outweigh the crappy side effects I'm having."
