Citalopram dose increase: so sleepy!

Hello!

I've only been taking citalopram since November, starting with 10, then 20mg. Since Friday I have been taking 30mg, and ohmygod I have never been so exhausted. I do massive dinosaur yawns constantly, I feel pretty bleak, exhausted, I want to go to bed at 8pm and generally can't be bothered to focus on anything.

I had no side effects when I started, or moving from 10-20mg, so I'm wondering in other peoples experience, if this was a side effect they had that will go, or is it more an indication it could be too high a dose? I will obviously keep taking it with the thought it's a side effect that will go away, just interested in others experiences. Thank you!

I took this for years, it made me so tired. I ended up coming off it because of this! Good luck, I hope it passes
