anxiety and stress
"I take citalopram for PMDD.  I only take it when I have the PMS symptoms and it works great.  I haven't had any side effects.  I just had the doctor put my daughter on it because the medicines she was on was not helping her anxiety or irritability related to her Autism.  She's only been on it for 5 days and we noticed a difference in her almost immediately. It's amazing! She's smiling and hugging me and telling me she loves me.  For one Autistic kids don't hug their moms at least without you asking first and now she wants to hug me.  I love her cheerful mood.  It's been tough lately with her attitude and now it gives me hope that we've found the right medicine to help her."
