coming off citalopram and going onto lofepramine

[pumperknickle]

I was on citalopram for 7 weeks with the most dreadfull side effects, my doctor has now put me on lofepramine 70mg twice a day. I've only been on them since yesterday morning.

Can anyone advise me if i would still be having some of the side effects from citalopram?

Is anyone else on lofepramine and what side effects are you having if any?

Thanks

Hi Sarah,

I was on lofepramine too...same dose as you and the main thing I remember is a really dry mouth. I also had some nausea, especially while eating but that settled down after a while. I felt they definitely helped me though I always struggled to remember to take the second one in the day.

Good luck with them
