I'm on 40mg of citalopram and have been on them for 10 months for pnd/anxiety. I think they have given me spots/acne. I was on them for the same reason after I had ds1 for about 18 months and again at that time i had bad skin again.
My skin was ok before when i hadnt been on them and i thought was the pill but i now think it is the citalopram. I spoke to my gp who said yes it could be the pills and i asked about changing brands to say prozac and she said it was fine to be but that id have to go cold turkey for a few days before i could start the prozac. She said this was because i had to get the citalopram out of my system. I really dont want to go cold turkey but really want to swap brands as y skin is really getting me down (not helping my self esteem!)
Just wondering if anyone else has managed to change brands? If i miss one dose the next day i feel sooooo sick and awful headache and dizzyness and there is no way i could cope with that for a few days with both ds's when dh works long hours.
