hi basically im a 19 year old and have been prescribed citalopram hydrobromide (10mg) for my anxiety disorder but im really hesitant to take them as i have been told for people under 25 they can cause you to become suicidal and as i have an anxiety disorder and not depression(this has been proven ) thats the last thing i want , is there anyone else out there who is taking anti-depressants under the age of 25 and how do they effect you , do they work and do you get any side effects.
sorry about all the questions but im just really hesitant about taking them.
answers gratefully accepted

Your Doctor has made an educated and diagnostic assessment on your health and thus made an enforced decision and has prescribed you the following "citalopram hydrobromide" for the good of your health.
Firstly, due to the nature of your disorder; anxiety you are going to anxious in change of routine or medication.
Citalopram hydrobromide is an SSRI (Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) These are usually prescribed for long term rather than short term this is due to the nature of them.
Rather than Bz's (Benzodiazepines) which will make you feel better almost immediately; SSRI's such as the drug you've been prescribed will take several weeks for it to form in your system.
You may have to find different prescriptions whilst consulting your doctor if the drug you are having is not working, as SSRI's affect people differently.
This and the previous point of the drug taking several weeks for it to form in your system levels of depression may worsen before the SSRI can take effect therefore suicidal thoughts or self harm may arise.
SSRI's are not addictive unlike Bz's which is a pro to them!
