I appreciate and thank you for your compliment. My son says “gah” which I am sure is baby speak for he does too.

I did 10ng for 2 weeks and now 20 for 2 weeks, I feel nothing yet. Weirdm

@@daano465 how you doin now man?

@@broskiez2641 Thanks for asking! I had a talk with my psychiatrist just 2 weeks ago to talk about the progress. It's hard to tell, it mihgt just start working. I do have the sense that im overall more optimistic about life. Don't really feel more energy or it easier to do small tasks. Did ask a girl out in person for the first time 3 days ago though, who knows wether it was just the little push I needed ;)

@@daano465 thats good! Progress.

How's it going now? Did you experience any major loss in libito that didn't bounce back to normal?

How are u feeling now?

Thank You!

This comment! Am on day 6 and feel alot better and everyone saying it takes weeks I was thinking a must be placebo myself

@@kieranbowman2624 yesss good for you! I’m still taking it as of now, it’s not life changing but it’s definitely doing something. I think therapy is also really helpful tho!

Give it 4-6 weeks. You should really start on 10mg for the first 2 weeks to reduce side effects.

First time I started taking citalopram it kicked my ass for the first week. Gets worse before it gets better but hope you stuck through it because you get so much back from it. Maybe you should have started on 10mg. I will say one thing though make sure you take them everyday and dont skip them because the withdrawals can be really uncomfortable and they kick in 48 hours without taking them. You have to slowly come off them if you are considering that. All the best man.

How are you doing?

@@vincentvega3747 hI bro, I've been off the citalopram for a while now. I wasn't on it for long, though I did get used to the side effects after a few weeks. I'm starting a new job with better pay soon so thats cheered me up, plus I've been hitting the gym 4 times a week for over 3 months now. Still feel like I'm drifting through life, but trying to make some small changes a little at a time.

@@simonroome5858 Glad to hear. Best of luck

I have the same side effects man. It's hard because one of the things that I value about myself is my ability to be a deep thinker and solve complex problems. I feel like my brain is not firing on all cylinders and I'm worried that it will affect my career and self image.

Yes

no I did not.

@@DavidCompton I just started and feel better after just i dose of 10mg. I just pray it helps with social anxiety.

I did not do any therapy. I only took the medication.

Personally I haven’t had much for issues there. My sex drive maybe has gone down a bit but I recently have also had a kid and I work 50+ hours a week so it’s hard for me to say whether or not the citalopram is a major contributor to that or if it’s just my life in general. Lol. Anyway; as master Yoda said very well “fear is the path to the dark side. fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

On the other hand because of my dystimia i lost my libido so who knows a ssri will bring it back

Yeah same here. The one reason I don't want to start this shit
