Citalopram && Sleep......

Hi Peeps.. :yesyes:
Im Passed The Side Effects Of My Medication, Im Currently On 30mg Citalopram.. I Think Ive Been Taking This For 2 1/2 Months Maybe Longer.....

My Only Problem Is, The Nightmares I Have Each And Every Night.. These Dreams Are Just Normal Things In My Life But Im Panicing In All Of Them, And Waking At 4am & 6am Feeling Confused And Like Ive Had Nooo Sleep At All.. These Dreams Seem To Go On Forever, Yesterday Morning I Woke Up And Ran Down Stairs Actually Believing It Was Christmas :wacko:
I Feel Im Going A Little Nutts.
Also Ive Resently Gone Up To 30mg Of Cit && Im Mega Drowsy & Feel The Need To Rest Alot..

Can Anyone Relate?
Much Appreciated, Jordan x

Hi, Citalopram has been known to cause strange and vivid dreams in some people, but dreams which cause you distress are probably caused by stress and/or anxiety. It does sound like the cit is making your dreams more intense but that won't hurt you :)

PS Very soon you WILL be running downstairs on Christmas morning -- hooray!! :D

Hang on in there, Jordan. Sounds like the Citalopram might be doing it's job - this is just one thing to be worked through whilst your body settles down. :)
