Citalopram Side Effects - How long?
Scroll to see replies
Just a quick thing to raise with your Doc, if you are still feeling bad, then ask about changing to escitlopram. (cipralex) it is essentially the same drug, but escitlopram is a slightly better-working version of it ( I won't bore you with the biochem of it!). I have never had side effects with it, and I know of others who haven't too, so it might be worth considering if citlopram is making you sick. The depression and anxiety could also be contributing to sick feeling, especially as you have been putting off taking them for so long.
On another note, yes it is worth sticking with it, it is so so worth it I cannot tell you!
If you can put up with the side effects then it will be worth the pay off.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Got less of the sick feeling, just a bit dizzy and confused and a headache but I don't mind because I'm not as nauseous. I think it was partly to do with me being worried about the side effects in the first place. That was why I didn't want to take them. Hopefully from today the side effects are gradually going. But I still haven't eaten anything. Nothing appeals to me anymore.
Hi I know this is an old thread but was wondering if anyone could help. I was on citalopram for 12 years 40mg with propanonal for bad anxiety and depression. I thought i was ok in January so stupidly came off them without docs advise. Didn't get any withdrawals as was on cloud 9 at the time but then the panic attacks started again and the tears started flowing. I have been sck I them for nearly 4 weeks now at first the side effects were minimal but since last Saturday I have real burning hot flushes usually at night but so e I the day. My anxiety is worse and I can't stomach food. Will all this pass? I want to stick with it if I know it will get better but I'm feeling not very hopeful. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Xxx

Hi all , I understand this thread was from a long time ago but thought I would see if anyone could help ... I have bad anxiety
It took over a month for my Citalopram to start fully working. I started on 25 mg and last year it was upped to 40mg. I stopped taking it at night. I take it now in the morning and definitely works so much better and I sleep deeply. I have had no side effects. I actually like taking it on an empty stomach and I can feel it working. I have breakfast after. Hope this helps. You got this.
