I am familiar with both of these and they work. Neither should be mixed with alcohol so be careful there. You are right that it takes a little time for the citalopram to reach the desired result, so don’t expect a suddden change. Just taking the steps you have show that you are definitely on the right track. The laymen’s view on antidepressants is a shame. If someone had diabetes or hypertension, most everyone would agree that a medicine is the right course, depression needs to be treated as well. Our circumstances can create depression, but often times it is an imbalance in mood related hormones and these require regulating just like any other disease process. Good job in looking after yourself. Caring for our physical and mental well being is vitally important if we hope to beat this addiction. We are worth it!
