Hi all,
I was on Citalopram 10mg for 5 weeks and have been on an increased dose of 20mg for a further 3 weeks and still feel awful.
My sleep is better but my anxiety and depression still rage on and I am absolutely shattered all of the time. The only place I want to be is in bed but I am struggling on and still working.
The one odd thing that has happened recently is that I have a few things on my skin that don't seem to want to heal. I had what looked like two bites on my forearm, which eventually bled and now just won't heal properly. They scab over but have been like this for nearly a month now and still itch and just won't heal properly.
Also, I had a coldsore on my lip, which I've had before and always go away within a few days. This one has been around for 3 weeks now and won't heal properly.
Just wondering if anyone else on Citalopram or other SSRIs has seen it affecting the healing of skin at all? I just feel incredibly run down and am thinking of stopping these pills because the only thing that has improved with me is the sleep, and thats only because I am so exhausted!
thanks,
Gareth
