Depression
"I was put on this by my gp for depression. I started at 10mg tablets but didn&#039;t really do much so doctor agreed I could up it to 20mg but still I couldn&#039;t see it helping in anyway. I started having panic attacks and feeling worse than before taking them although I am not self harming like I used to. I took the decision to up it myself last Thursday to 40mg but it&#039;s still not helping. I&#039;m also on the contraceptive pill (due to having PCOS) and my periods have got heavy and painful aswell as very frequent (bleeding for 7 days then off 5 repeated) I feel like I&#039;m losing control of my own body and don&#039;t feel the citalopram helps me. 

The side effects of the citalopram when I first started wasn&#039;t as bad as I was expecting though."
