In September I had a nervous breakdown doctor put me on escitalopram 20mg 3 months and it still has not worked. So did a direct switch from escitalopram to citalopram 30mg. It's my second day. I have extremely disturbing thoughts which is probably OCD. I have intense fear and anxiety and panic. Please does anyone have these feelings?
Citalopram - Does citalopram work for disturbing thoughts?

Hello Veronica,
Generally Escitalopram works better than Citalopram and is usually for depression. If its been 3 months you should contact your doctor to let them know it's not helping. I have had horrible anxiety and panic attacks, they are very scary. In my opinion you need a med change.
My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you.
