I take citalopram. It took me about two weeks to start feeling it. That was about 4 months ago....of course, I'm not feeling it anymore. I think I need a stronger dose.

I took Citalopram for about a month and felt sick to my stomach and somewhat bad in general. I never heard of it being prescribed WITH Lithium. Lithium is pretty strong as it is. But if you are not feeling better, definately see you doctor and let him/her know, so that you can get something that will work and make you feel better.

I'm not it anymore but citalopram took about 3-4 weeks to fully take affect then in three months it stopped working and my dumb doc at the time wouldn't up the dose.

I have been on it for about 18 months (20 mg. which is the maximum dose I've been told). It isn't working very well right now, but I did feel pretty good up until a couple of months ago. I think the meds are only part of the solution. One has to work at helping themselves as well. Good luck.

Ive been on Citalopram 20mg since Feb and it was moved up to 40mg at the end of April as I was still feeling low. I was very nauseous the first 3 weeks and since being on the tabs the key thing that I have noted is that I cant face chocolate! Since the increase in dosage at end of April thoughts of suicide have been supressed and I cry a lot less but noticed that I am eating more. I hope to go back to work in June on a slow return but dont really know if the tabs are working til I put them to the test of being to cope with work. My GP says that it takes at least 2 - 3 weeks for the drugs to filter into your brain system....

I am taking Citalopram. Ive been on it 1 month now. It took about a week or so to take effect so bear with it.
