Excessive flatulence :(

Hi Jennie,

Did you have wind before you started citalopram? My windiness seems to be related to the meds I've been on - was on Fluoxetine at 20mg and had bad wind a couple of years ago, tapered down to 5mg and the wind improved (I came off it because of other side effects).

I'm just hoping that this epic gas will die down - My mood seems to be holding up on 5mg of citalopram (I may move to 7.5mg or 10 eventually). I'd much prefer gas to anxiety/depression, but still...

I've been on it for 15 years... Originally for post natal depression. Most of my social phobias are due to the fear of smelling in public ... Could Citalopram be the worst thing for me to take ?

It seems like the 'gassy' aspect of citalopram dies down in due course. It did for me anyway.
