I went on to citalopram in August 2002. It has helped stabilise my condition and give my opportunity to get effective counselling. First I was on 20mg, then 30, then 40mg. It took ages to get any affect - about a month. But I needed to go up to 60mg and stayed on that does until just over 6 weeks ago. I have slowly reduced to 20mg - and am OK on that. I then thought about not needing it: and within a day and a half of not taking it I felt more panicky, intrusive thoughts seemed to affect me more, etc, and I then began to notice I was feeling much more agitated, a bit dizzy and felt sick. I went back on the 20mg and felt stabilised within an hour.
