I am on day 5 of 20mg of Citrolopram and I can't keep my eyes open! Is this normal? How long does the tiredness last? Thx

It only lasted about a week for me. Definitely not more than a fortnight.

I remember the first few days of taking it I kept having to go a sleep during the day. Thankfully it was the weekend!

I always take mine before bed and it helps. When I took it in the morning I was shattered

It made me dizzy. I was put on it in hospital (everyone was) I came straight off it once out.

Try taking the tablets at night. I've been on citalopram for 4 years and always take mine at night. Hope this helps x

It made me feel dizzy and like I was going to pass out or be sick or have diarrhoea and also made my anxiety much worse to start with. After a week it gradually got better and better. I wouldn't be without it now, the thought of stopping and going back to my anxiety scares me

Thanks. Think I will take it before bed tomorrow.

I started and have had constant migraines. Is it worth pushing through? I honestly feel insane at the minute but it’s my first time on medication and not sure what to expect. Also had room spinning and dizziness.
