When does citalopram start working?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Varies person-person: Most SSRI take 4-6 weeks to work. If the anidepressant is not working by that time and it has already been raised. Consider that this agent is not going to work for you and consider switching to alternative agent after a weaning off period.
