Hi,
When i introduced myself i explained that i had just started taking citalopram for PND and anxiety and that i was having bad side effects, upset stomach, nausea,headaches,dizziness,not sleeping well and lastly
increased anxiety. I went to the doctors on Monday and explained all this and she asked me what i wanted to do and after talking it through i decided to persevere. I also started back at my work on Tuesday after 16 months maternity leave and started a new position. I went back to my doctors again on Thursday, mainly because of the anxiety due to having IBS and worrying that there was something seriously wrong only to be told by the fifth doctor that i've seen about this that i'm ok. Still find myself worrying though! I really don't think i can take much more of feeling this way and am not sure that i'll be able to continue with the medication. Has anyone else had these side effects with citalopram and if so how long did it last.
Thanks for any replies.
Tracey.
