The first couple weeks will suck, expect nausea and feeling really grim if you drink with it. After the first couple weeks both me and Liz (at different times!) went through a slightly manic, euphoric kind of phase then it sort of levelled out.
My personal view on anti-depressants is that they *can* be really useful and they're not always inferior to therapy. When I had that anxiety thing a couple years back I had a few months of counselling and it helped a bit. Since being on Citalopram it has pretty much gone and I don't think it'll come back when I stop taking it. About 3 years ago I couldn't face the idea of even going in a car as a passenger, now I'm driving to Northampton to go drag racing. Bit of a difference! :D
