A member asked:

Been on citalopram (20mg) for almost two weeks now. worried about side effects. would i have noticed them already?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effects: Don't worry. Side effects usually appear during the first few days. Late onset side effects are uncommon. Ask your doctor about dose adjustment if it is not working to control target symptoms.
