I've been on all sorts of medication and I feel like I still haven't found the right one. I had zopoclone (?) to help me sleep. Stopped working. Then mirtazipine (?), and that helped, not sleep but sort of stay asleep... but I was dead to the world until I awoke naturally which was always at ridiculous times. Now I'm back on citalopram but my insomnia is now ten times worse. I'm awake all night, sleep for a few hours, maybe 9am-12pm, then I'm up again. Head is fucked.

I've got some diazepam in my purse but kind of saving that. But I can't fucking sleep.

Anyone else experienced this on citalopram?

Having been on many different kinds of meds and suffering from insomnia I can relate to how you feel! I've never been on citalopram so can't comment on that, sorry. What is currently keeping me asleep is a low dose of Olanzapine in conjunction with my other meds. What is your diagnosis? Are you seeing a psychiatrist or a gp?

I don't have a diagnosis. And at the moment I'm just seeing my GP. I was referred but I just couldn't go and then I cancelled my appointment with them because I'm scared of being sectioned. My baby was stillborn on Christmas Day so I think they're trying to stop me from going under as I have a history of severe depression.

I'm so sorry for your loss, no wonder you are struggling. Please go and see the psychiatrist, you need and deserve to be helped.
