Hey.
Do you take your Citalopram in the morning ,afternoon or night ? and why that choice ? I'm interested because I'v heard all different accounts about different side effects effecting people depending on their administration times. I take mine in the morning and feel a little lethargic through out the day. I wonder if this would go away if I took it at night? x

It would depend on several things. How much you are taking, what else you are taking, when you need to take it for the best effects. Your Doctor is the best to tell you as it is different for all of us.

Hello,

I take mine in the Morning after breakfast. I had no idea that they would act differently depending on when you take them.
I will have to speak to my Doc tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Why after breakfeast, Because of stomach problems? I'm not sure if they would 'act differently' per say just one seems to be more susceptible to side effects such as tiredness etc when taken in the morning . Hope your doing well Hannah xx

I take mine in the evening after my evening meal. I do find I sleep better at night. Sometimes I feel lethargic during the day, but that's often because I didn't go to bed early enough the previous night. I definitely need more sleep than I used to, though.
