Everything ive read about citalopram says it takes months but he's sounding like he wants to see a good response in weeks. I feel like it's making me worse. (The meds not him that is.)
Hell yes. Like I say, I've had to wait months. The first time I went on Prozac it took 3 weeks but it seems to take longer and longer. They do make most people worse for a week or two, to the extent I need benzos to cope with it, so now I just stay on them and might do for the rest of my life.
