The effects of antidepressants can vary considerably from one individual to another.
Citalopram can cause alertness is some people and drowsiness in others.
"More than 15% of patients develop insomnia while taking citalopram"
It would be far better to do wha you doctor says and take your tablet in the morning than early evening.

Getting the best from an antidepressant depends on the "doctor-patient alliance". That means keep going back to your doctor and feeding back your experience so that the doctor can tune your medication to your need!
