Hello, hippyhippy.

I'm on Citalopram. When I first started taking it about a month ago I noticed a huge difference in the first couple of days. Those first two weeks were the best I've had mood wise in about 10 years.

Now, though, I don't think it's working as good as it should. My doctor hasn't called me back yet. I want to switch meds...try something else.

I hope you can stay in a good mood. I hope the meds work for you and work consistently.

I'm curious, though...you said you have BP. Have you been on Lithium? I wonder why so many docs are prescribing SSRI's for BP? Sorry if I'm being too nosy.
