Anxiety and Stress
"I started Citalopram 5 weeks ago hoping it would help with my anxiety and depression. I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). At first I was terrified of the idea of going on medication, (I&#039;m a nursing student and I would only take pills if it&#039;s absolutely necessary) mostly because of the side effects and the experience of other people. I tried everything to &quot;cure&quot; myself and I finally had the courage to talk to my doctor and we made the decision. I can honestly say that Citalopram saved my life. I now feel relieved, more relaxed and simply enjoying life. No side effects beside a little nausea the first week starting it (I didn&#039;t eat while taking it). I am on 10mg and I love it. I know it is not easy, you&#039;re not alone. Take care ❤"
