Hi,

Has anyone experienced side effects that start weeks or months into treatment? I've got a post about this in the Citalopram forum as this is what I'm taking, but wanted to ask this more generally. The standard advice with any SSRI is that side effects are common in the first couple of weeks, but I've been on these for a couple of months and started getting joint pain and swelling three weeks ago. This has now got so bad that the simplest everyday activites are painful, and it's waking me up in the night as well. Blood tests have come back fine.

If anyone has had a similar experience with Citalopram or any other SSRI I'd be really grateful to hear from you!
