Well, my doc prescribed Escitalopram rather than Citalopram, she said it will be better for the anxiety side of things. 10mg to 20mg in a week, then 40mg later on. I thought 40mg was above recommended (it is), but after reading up on it, it's not uncommon for that dosage to be prescribed these days, mostly to prevent regression it seems. I may offer some resistance to that dosage though, not sure I buy that argument.

Oddly, I felt better almost right away, must have been the placebo effect or just anticipation. I feel a little spaced out, stomach gurgling, a little trouble sleeping last night, and woke up with a headache, nothing severe enough to make me consider stopping though.

I'll try to keep posting "start-up" updates for those who might be interested.
