Hi,
Just wanted to ask to all those on citalopram, whether this annoying feeling is normal.
I've been on citalopram for 6 weeks now 10mg dose, I seem to have a constant nervous, almost weak feeling around my heart and that side of my chest and get a weird gushing heart beat occasionally, almost like a vibration. The faint, weak nervous feeling, I feel more when I move around, or go out for a walk (actually feels like my heart is going to stop or something, which I know it isn't) and the gushing heart beat I get when I'm relaxing.
Now, before I started taking citalopram, I didn't have these sensations, that I remember, so I wanted to know if anyone has experienced these and linked it to citalopram? whether they are a side effect that will eventually settle down, or whether I really should consider a change of SSRI. I do seem prone to side effects in drugs for some reason.
Any comments would be appreciated.
