Fluoxetine v citalopram

[nvrbnunloved]

My doctor has changed the anti-depressants I am on from fluoxetine (Prozac) to citalopram. I am due to start taking them tomorrow. I wondered if anyone else had tried both and had any comments? ie did they find one better than the other? I know different drugs work better for some than others. Either have more or less side effects? Just curious....

I've tried both of these, i started with fluoxetien then changed to citalopram, i didnt find either of them any good, although citalopram was a bit better. But different things work for different people, i;ve tried 5 so far..
*hug* I hope they work for you

I just wanted to say that Prozac is next too on my try list as paxil makes me very sleepy and more depressed. I'll be starting Prozac as soon as I fill my prescription.

Yeah I've taken both as well and I found that citalopram was better though still not all that helpful, i never really had any side effects with either but like you said everyone is different, hope they work out for you
