Strange symptoms- side effects or something else?

[Peachy]

I am taking citalopram, for depression that comes from being a carer and all the associated exhaustion and crap.

Have started having these funny times- had about 4, one today- can be either mid morning or afternoon.

Basically I start to feel really cold- absolutely freezing, even if I put heating on and right through to my bones; have to get a duvet and sit on sofa, then feel shattered and crash out- nothing I do stops me falling asleep. Doesn't seem to be a link to worse night's sleep or anything.

Anyone ever encountered this please?

Have they started since you have been taking the citalopram?

When I first started taking sertraline it gave me all kinds or bodily weirdness for a good couple of weeks.

It could just be you are coming down with something though. Hope you feel better soon :)

Started about three weeks after. It's a PITA as the citalopram had me coping again and now I am at the point where I need a little help (with ds4) for different reasons

What dose are you on Peachy?

I will join that thread later! Dh ahs been taking citalopram for many years so will be interesting as well as helpful

Just seen this (linked in the citalopram thread elsewhere). I've had this a few times, during the first month of starting citalopram (20mg). It seemed to happen to me in the evenings (about 1 or 2 hours after taking the tablet) - is that the same for you - when do you take your tablet? Not had it recently though (only been on it a couple of months) - although I'm always cold (which is the opposite to how I usually am!).
