Has anyone had success with Citalopram 20mg for managing depression?

I've been prescribed Citalopram 20mg for my depression and I'm a bit nervous about starting it. I've heard it can take a few weeks to feel the full benefits, but I'm also worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone had any success with this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Also, any tips on how to manage side effects would be greatly appreciated!

It's important to give it time. Don't rush to judge it. It can be a bit of a journey, but stick with it and communicate with your doctor

My doctor told me to take it with food to avoid the nausea. It helped a lot.

Make sure you take it at the same time every day. Consistency is key with this stuff.

I had horrible insomnia for the first month. It got better after that, though.

I swear, this stuff made me break out like a teenager. Anyone else have skin issues?
