As you have started this only two weeks ago, I would give it at least another 2 weeks before you decide whether you want to change as Citalopram takes a while to build up to work. Don't write it off just yet :)

That said, you may find that you really don't get on with it :)

I had severe images in the first month of taking Citalopram - I used to see images of slashing my wrists etc that I couldn't stop.

But I lied too well. I was lying with every nerve and fiber and everything I'd ever done...I wanted him to find no good in me, and he didn't. There is none.”
