Actually it's NOT average to feel worse before you feel better once you have been started on an ante-depressant. However they do take up to 14 days to beginning having any real benefits.

However if you're feeling worse then i would suggest seeing your GP again because at 8 weeks on Citalopram you should be starting to feel better.

remember that not all ante-depressants suit everyone. You have to have the right one and it could be that Citalapram is just not for you.

That being said do not stop taking them unless advised by your GP as suddenly stopping them could make you feel even worse.

So go back to your GP asap.

Good luck and hope you obtain sorted out.
