I saw my doc yesterday and he decided to put me on citalopram - 10 mg every other day to start. He said there were some side effects but didn't think I'd have a problem. I do see him next week to check in.

I don't expect the drug to kick in so quickly but am wondering if side effects can happen so soon? I literally just took my first pill this morning.

I'm feeling a bit out of it now, nauseaous, and my skin feels really hot/burning like it's been sunburned but it's not red. This is all over, even my scalp.

So, normal? I thought about calling to ask but I'm at works and don't want to be an alarmist.
