feeling zombified on citalopram

[katsnmouse]

I am 2 weeks into taking citalopram for PND/PTSD and feeling absolutely shattered. I take 20mg in the morning and I must admit I feel less hopeless/negative but am totally wiped out. Getting decent nights sleep (11-6), but when I wake don't feel rested. Struggling to look after 6mo DD as I feel so drained.It feels like I'm still having to put on 'good mummy' show so the PND doesn't affect her (if that makes sense). Anybody else experienced this? When do I start to feel 'normal'?

I felt awful until i suddenly felt significantly better on day 18. Stick with it a little longer OP then go back to your GP if no better.

Hi there. I'm on week 5 now. I got away quite lightly on the side effects but I take mine at about 7 o clock in the evening so don't know if that's anything to do with it. Good luck
