New to Citalopram

[David B]

Hi, I have just started taking Citalopram 10 days ago and the side effects don't seem to be too bad. A little Nausea and i cant stop yawning. However i do seem to have problems with my libido since i started. I don't know if this is because i am worrying about it or is it a side effect of the medication.
Has anybody else had this problem. i know it's early days and i will persevere because reading other peoples comments they must be OK

i used to be on citalopram and it did thesame to me. I had the usual nausea and dry mouth and yes my sex drive hit rock bottom. I am now on fluoxtine and i havent had a problem. Talk to your GP xxx

Thanks for the replies everyone. Have been on the citalopram 2 and half weeks and things are not much better. I am not coping with work very well at all. It's a demanding Managerial position which i am beginning to think i am not cut out for.
How long do you all think the side effects take to wear off or is there always some side effects
Thanks
David

Hi, I can't say I notice much in the way of side effects at all, as yet anyway.
