I did the same thing only I can only tolerate 10 mg of the citalopram. Anything more makes me all wired and jittery.
GJ - The citalopram did help me with some of the fatigue. I can now stay awake until almost lunch time on good days. I still take a 1 to 2 hour nap every day but the citalopram has really helped.
The downside, for me, was that AD's were prescribed to me to help me through the pain cycle. The citalopram does not work as well as the Paxil did for pain. I tense up a lot when I am in pain and it causes more pain. You know the cycle. LOL. Anyhow, Paxil took away my personality and gave me a flat affect but being a little subdued during periods of intense pain, it worked well.
