I just got started on it yesterday at 10mg once per day.
Anyone else on it?
Can you fill me in on any typical effects?
I've looked up the effects online but hearing anything first-hand would be appreciated.
 
i was on it for about 3 months back at the beginning of the year but it didnt suit me
i constantly had stomach ache and it didnt really seem to "work" for me just made me feel awful

it also increased my seizures .... alot... that is the reason i changed becuase i could handle the side effects just couldnt handle the drastic increase in my seizures i was on 20mg once a day
 
I was given this and took it for several years. It cause me to to very dizzy to the point it was hard for me to walk. It took me a long time to realize it was this meds. and the only way I found out I stopped each meds. (except seiz. meds) until I found it was this that was causing it.
 
I am on citalopram and have been on 40mg a day for well over a year. I ramped up pretty slow due to a bad reaction to fluoxetine and not had any problems at all to be honest.

I have been on it for about four months. At first I was a bit drowsy and lost my appetite. Then I had problems sleeping. Now I'm normal and feel fine. Well I did. Until I forgot to take it for four days this week. Now I feel pretty dizzy sleepy, and generally crappy.
