I was recently diagnosed with depression and started taking 20mg of Citalopram per day about 10 days ago. I was told by the doctor and the pharmasist that it could take 3 weeks before I would notice any improvement. Here's the problem: Although I've had suicidal thoughts before, they seems more frequest over the last couple of days. Do I just need to "ride it out" and wait until it's been at least three weeks, or should I take this more serious. I'm really beginning to feel a battle inside my head between my good thoughts and the bad ones. HELP!
