For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I was given Citalopram a couple of years back and i can honestly say that it was the worst decision my Dr ever made. I suffered bad side effects, became even more unstable (if that was possible) and put on nearly 2 stones in weight. However to reiterate what has already been said drugs work differently depending on the person so if in a few weeks you feel better or worse then go see your Dr and they'll sort it out for you.
Best of luck
Hi miss moon cat,
I have been on Citalopram and found it very helpful. I hadn't ever taken any sort of medication before so I have nothing to compare it with, but it seemed to work for me.
As for drinking, if I drank a lot I would have a kind of 'spaced out' hangover rather than a regular one, other than that there's no real problem.
