Hey everyone I'd appreciate it if anyone especially those on Citalopram medication for treating anxiety to help me out here.

I've had numerous side effects

- Insomnia
- No appetite whatsoever
- Constipation which lasted for a few days and now it's just loose all the time

I was wondering if any of this was common with anyone else?

Because my Citalopram is to help me with my health anxiety and I also have IBS which doesn't help my bowel movements and to be honest right now i'm scared to leave my house incase I need to urgently use the bathroom or something.

I'd appreciate any help

Thankyou

How long have you been on this medication for??

Those side effects are very common with SSRI's and can last up to a couple of weeks. Things should start to settle down then!!
