I have been taking citalopram (a fairly high dose) and was wondering if anybody out there has had a similar experience to me?
Its generally worked in terms of depression/insomnia/anxiety- like many of you I guess- some days are better than others, but I'mnot "on edge" quite so much now...
However, I don't seem to be able to control my weight at all- I have zero energy most days, a walk around the park literally exhausts me to the point of tears and I seem to be craving starchy/high carb foods all the time, which is totally out of character for me normally. I don't have a sweet tooth at all and virtually never eat crap/take-out foods.... I don't eat red meat .... I eat loads of fresh fruit & veg...... I am at my wits end- and now am terrified of going beyond a size 14..... (big for me)
My GP describes it as a common side effect, but didn't offer any solution.
Can anybody recommend any alternatives please? Or any other helpful pointers?
Am getting desperate...............
