Evaluation: This may be more than just depression and anxiety. You could have hormonal changes that are affecting your mood. The citalopram also may not be working that well for you. The dose may need to be adjusted or the medication changed. Bottom line is that you need to see your doctor to rule things out and make any necessary changes as there could be more than one reason for your symptoms.
