So, I am on my second course of Citalopram in 5 years and I have noticed little tics and quirks that this medication bring about (which disappear over time) - not the well written about dry mouth, loss of appetite, sleep disturbance anxiety etc but the little things - so I thought I'd put it out to you lot as an experiment. Some of these may just be me, but we can compare:
Getting a song stuck on in your head for ages
ringing in the ears
vivid dreams
an itchy right ear (!)
agitation
getting jittery
trembles

what about you?

Omgosh, I get really restless legs too, and jaw clenching. When I wake up in the morning my jaw can really ache and I have to do stretching exercises on it.

I have noticed I get wind, too. I have always had ibs type symptoms including wind, but since I started the cit. I've found I have had more wind :blush: Although, I do think my ibs issues have actually improved a little; I am not so constipated as I was before I started taking them, I'm actually getting a better routine :)

^^ I think citralopram has affected my sex drive also. I mean, I didn't feel so interested before hand because of depression, but now... sitting in bed with a cup of tea is about all I am interested in! :whistles:
