citalopram/ celexa symptoms?

Question

ive been taking citalopram for a few days for social anxiety intrusive thoughts and depression. I seem to be even more paranoid and on edge is it normal to have this in the first few days of taking it?

Answer 1

Yes, that is totally normal. You might feel odd/worse the first few days. By 2 weeks, you should start to feel somewhat better. By 4-6 weeks you should feel pretty darn good.
