Hey kittyfaye, I was on citalopram for 11 years and it worked great for my depression/anxiety although I did have to go from 20mg to 40mg then 60mg (60 not allowed anymore in us at least where I am) however it held it's effectiveness.

I did gain 80lbs on it! Although it does depend on the person. After 7 years on it I developed extreme fatigue and had to take Ritalin with it.

Over all really good for mood but very bad for my health eventually so I had to switch. Oddly enough I've switched to your former AD Pristiq.
