Taking Citalopram
I have been taking this drug for 7 years or around that. I love it. I was a mess, It has helped me contol my anixaty I started out at 20 mg and now at 40 mg. Because it has made me feel so much better I will not go off of them. I have a very depressive life of ups and downs PTSD. a car accident with head injury and everthing in between. This drug is not suppose to make you gain weight. A lot of times when you are shaky is because your body is telling you eat protein. I am never going off it because it make me feel so much better.

Cold Turkey
I have only been taking citalopram 2 weeks now. My Dr. had me on 10mg for 1 week and then upgraded me to 20mg for the 2nd week. It makes me more nervous and edgy than my anxiety and situational depression does. I stopped taking it for one day yesterday and felt so much better. Can I stop cold turkey after only 2 weeks?

Drug Interaction
I just started taking the lowest dose of Amitriptyline 1x daily to try to help me sleep. My concern is I've been taking Citalopram 20mg for over 5 years now 1x daily. As soon as my terrible sleep pattern regulates, I'll go off the Amitriptyline. But, will taking both of these get me in trouble?

Contain Gluten?
I have celiac sprue and am taking the salmon-colored generic: citalopram 20 mg. Does it contain gluten? The drug did not show up on the gluten-free drug list, but Celexa (non-generic) was listed as gluten free.

    Depression is the number one mental disorder in the United States. It is a devastating epidemic in our culture and many people are suffering in silence because most people who are depressed do not get any help for it. It is clear that antidepressant medications help many people find relief from an otherwise very debilitating disease. However, they do not work for everybody all the time. Other forms of therapy that are shown to be very helpful in treating depression are yoga and mindfulness meditation practices, acupuncture and herbs.
