Weight Gain and Citalopram

[devon_guy]

I've been taking Citalopram for just over 2 months and over that time I have gained a stone in weight yet I haven't altered my diet and if anything I am more active than I was 2 months ago. Has anyone noticed they have put on weight with these pills? Is it normal?

Thanks for any help.

I put on 2 stone when I was on Dothiepin and Prozac.

Never really lost it either.

I think it is one of those things I am afraid.

Hi Tim,

I was on citalopram for 7 years and I put on loads of weight whilst on them. I have just come off of them so im hoping it will fall off as easy as it went on, i doubt it though, never works that way lol.

Take care

Hi All

Wondered if anyone had had good results with the Citalapram. I am not sure at the moment - have been on it for 10 weeks and still feel quite low and a level of anxiety most of the time.
Thanks
Yvonne

I've just started my second month of citalopram, so far I've had no problems with my weight thankfully.

I'm feeling much better within myself, I have the odd emotional day where I may cry but all in all I've seen a huge improvement compared to how I was at the start of October :)

Well the Citalapram has been great for my panic attacks, so much so this month hopefully I will be starting to come off them. I went and saw my locum doc last week and she confirmed that weight gain is normal, pity my normal GP hadn't told me that before I went on them!!
