Citalopram

[SadSue]

Hi, i have taken 4 10mg tablets so far, yesterday and today i feel more anxious, i'm also exhausted and lightheaded. My appetite is pretty much non existent also i feel a little shaky. I don't want to give up i just need reassurance that this is normal and it'll get better, thank you.

It's a long time since I started Citalopram but it sounds normal to me. Try and take it easy and eat and drink well.

Thank you, i was on them 5 years ago but my anxiety was alot worse, i don't remember the side effects as i felt rubbish anyway.

Totally normal yes. It will get better. Get yourself stable on 10mg before you try and up it. It took about 2 weeks for me to see an improvement in my mood.

Thanks, it's good to know that it's normal, i think i'll stick to the 10mg for a month and then see how i feel.

Yes just go day by day. The important thing is not to skip it. You have to take it every day. If it's really not working for you then there are other ones you can try.
