I know everyone says that side effects go away after a few months but do they always or do you just not notice them so much?
I am struggling a little bit, I have been on Citalopram for about 4 months I think (days run into each other at the moment lol, packet after packet!)
I am still finding the following side effects, I suffer from health anxiety so want to gauge other people's experiences before letting it get the better of me:-
I am sure there are more little things but I can't remember them at the moment. I would just like to know what other things people still experience.
- Extreme tiredness, I struggle sometimes to settle at night, never feel ready to wake up in the morning (I have a 2 year old) and by the time I get to early evening I feel absolutely knackered and can't keep my eyes open
- I still get dizzy sometimes and when I stop moving it feels as though for a second though it feels like I ams till moving or that the room si moving around me
- When tired I feel slightly removed from what I am doing which I find a little distressing at times
For anyone reading this who maybe hasn't started Citalopram or has only just started I want to point out that this has helped me beyond any expectation I had. I have had no panic attacks since starting and only a handful or panicky moments and gradually I am managing to get myself back. I am coping with everything better, have put some issues into perspective, have met someone who puts a smile on my face and have started feeling positive about the future.
Still though I would appreciate people's experiences, to gain some reassurance.
