Citalopram advice?

I've been prescribed 20mg of citalopram daily by my GP for my anxiety and PND that's been ongoing for 4 years 🤨

I'm on day 5, I've felt great until now. Apart from having no appetite. I've had more energy, felt happier, although that's probably placebo.

But today I am so EXHAUSTED, I've drifted off on the sofa while reading a book to my child!

How long does the tiredness last!? I don't want another day of this!

Just after hearing other experiences really, pleaaaase

Perhaps I’ve been lucky but I’ve had no side effects from Citalopram. I have used it on and off for years and it has helped me so much by keeping me level.

I felt tired for the first two weeks, then it eased off, but eventually the tiredness came back permanently and I had to come off it as I was sleeping 16 hours a day, even on a low dose.
