2 weeks on citalopram

[chocoholic]

hi all
just a quick question
its not been so bad so far, im on 10 mg daily and had a week of nausea and tiredness but now am feeling better
i have noticed i have been feeling more weak and shaky. i have low blood pressure and it seems it might be lowering it a bit.
also i came on two days ago (sorry if this is tmi!) and although i usually have heavy periods i found it to be quite clotty.
I feel better for being on them tho and just wanted to know if anyone else has found the same?

hi suzy-sue,

i have been on 10mg for 3 weeks now, i noticed this week it has took all my strengh to do normal everyday stuff and i keep getting uncontrolable shakes not bad but i notice it, i think it's down to the tablets,
i wish i could help with the period issue but i got the mirena coil fitted due to heavy periods 1 month before i started the citalopram so my periods were gonna be different anyway,
anyway glad ur feeling better
