I had Citalopram years ago for some PND and don't remember this happening then.
I took my first 20mg of Citalopram last night at midnight and woke up feeling nauseous about 4am. I had some diarrhoea then cold tingling down my arms and chest on and off for about 3 hours . I was so nauseous I literally breathed away being sick until about 8 am . It was awful ..now I'm too scared to take it again tonight I could nt even take the dc to school this morning .
My 25 year marriage recently ended and even though it's early days I don't think I'm coping well.
Cry cry cry , can't eat , low self esteem , fear of the future etc and absolute hurt like I cannot ever put into words. For the sake of the dc who I know I need to move on for I thougt I'd try ads for a few months but maybe I haven't tried other things enough yet ...like sleeping and eating better myself and not drinking so much .
Not quiet sure what to do.
Have a very supportive GP but don't want to bother him again I work with him .have been waiting almost a month I think for the Councellor to get in touch .
Maybe I actually just had a bug last night ? !

Poor you
if you're sick again after next dose go back to your doctor. There are other ADs you can try. I took citalopram for 6 weeks and didn't feel well on it. I wasn't sick but had no appetite so couldn't eat and lost about half a stone. I stopped citalopram and was put on another AD which made me feel better.
Hope this helps.
Speak to your doctor. This might not be the right thing for you or it might just be a bug?
You are having such a rough time of it, I really feel for you.
I hope you get the right help and support you need. It's impossible for you to see it now but you WILL be OK and things WILL get better.
I wish you luck 
I've been on it four nights. The nights I took it at the same time as my pill or a glass of wine it's been horrible; insomnia, really nervy, nausea and this weird jaw clenching sensation. The muscles round my neck an shoulders were really tense too. The nights I took it all on it's own I slept better and didn't feel sick. The muscle / jaw tension is still there though. Spoke to my doctor and he said give it a few more days.
Good luck OP 
There is a thread called setraline buddies in mental heath!!
