Citalopram & Sickness

[Robertc160882]

Hi Everyone,

I just want to pick your brains has anyone suffered really bad sickness in the first few weeks of taking this med. Anything I’m eating is just coming straight back up and as you can imagine it is now starting to take its toll on my body as a result. I feel so week every minute of the day due to the sickness feeling and being physically sick. I have found the sickness to be generally worse in the morning I feel as though I’m pregnant lol.

Another question is if I’m being sick normally a hour after taking my meds is it possible that I could bringing my meds back up so therefore they are high unlikely to helping me. I feel really, really low today and I think this may be a result of bring my meds back up but I don’t want to take an extra dose.

Can anyone else tell me if they have missed there meds how have the generally felt do you feel worse?

Thanks for your help.

Robert

HI ROBERT YES THOSE MEDS CAN DEFINATLY MAKE U FEEL A BIT SICK BUT IT USUALLY SETTLES DOWN AFTER A FEW WEEKS.BUT REMEMBER ANXIETY CAN ALSO CAUSE SICKNESS.I VOMITED FOR 3 MONTHS AT 1 POINT BECAUSE OF MY ANXIETY.CHECK WITH YOUR CHEMIST TO SEE HOW LONG THEY TAKE TO GO THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM AND IF THEY WOULD BE IN YOUR BLOOD SYSTEM WITHIN A HOUR.THEY WOULD NO BEST.I HOPE U START TO FEEL BETTER SOON M ARCIAXX

Hi Robert

Iv been taking citalopram for nearly 3 weeks now and i have been feeling sick everyday. I wake up feeling sick and the feelings last till i go to bed.

I took these meds last year for 6 months and i remember feeling sick for the first couple of weeks too.

Hopefully the nausea should wear off soon. The first few weeks are always the worst

Good luck

My anxiety was heightened in the first few weeks of taking citalopram, i also felt sick, dizzy, but after this i called it a wonder drug, stick with it.

HI there,

I too felt quite sick and weak the first few weeks on citalopram. I've been on them now for nearly 6 weeks and they are definitely worth it. I feel great now. The side effects do wear off and it's worth sticking them out. I went to my doctor a couple of times in the first few weeks though for re-assurance which helped a lot.

Hang in there!

HI there ..
Well saying that , you guys feeling sick etc ... I have physically been sick since day one of taking the medication but i don't know if my body doesn't agree with the medication
the nurse and college are well aware of me being on the medication they basically made me take it Wednesday knowing i didnt take it then they made me take it ... an till i took it they didnt leave me or let me go to my lesson, i did get sent home last week due to being physically sick 6 times during college hours .

Not sure tbh if i want to go bk to get different medication but tbh im abit scared of it happaning all over again an im so close to my exams also so its a hard time tbh to be messing around with medication im also not too sure if im able to get extra help and time in my exams etc due to my depression?
please any answers or messages to me will be much appreciated .

take care all .
