I am on Citalopram too and i am a lifer on it the doc said, i am also on 10 other meds for life, one of them just started as I was trying to get my Bachelors degree and my doc suggested to lesson the anxiety she gave me xanex. I love how i feel compared to how i used to feel, the xanex really changed me. I am more calm, but still depressed just not as bad.
