looks like you are sleeping the same amount
just at a more traditional time - i.e. night :)

surely that is a good thing

:yesyes:That sounds like bliss!:)

Seriously, though, citalopram can either make you more tired or cause sleep disturbances.
It does settle down, but actually, once it starts doing it's job, you'll probably sleep better simply because you're not so stressed.

Enjoy!:)

Hi
I am on 10mg citilopram and am was tired at the beginning of the week, but feeling less tired now, I think alot of my problem is boredom, I need to get a hobby or something to take my mind off things. The thing is I still have blips when I suddenly feel down again after a couple of months but don't like to increase the amount as dread that horrible feeling of being a zombie for a while, does anyone else find this?
