Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 54 year old male with severe anxiety and am taking 40 mg of citalopram and lotrel for bp issues. I recently read that citalopram can cause long qt syndrome and since my anxiety issues are driven by my health, I am concerned. My resting heart rate is in the low 50's, I have no family history of long qt, but with my low heart rate I wonder if I should cease to use citalopram. My doctor does not feel this is a problem but I thought I should seek other opinions Thanks .

15256956 tn?1439425231 PM), Diovan HTC 320 / 25 mg (AM), Lovastatin 20 mg (PM), *Citalopram 40 mg (PM), Terozosin 2 mg (PM), Metformin ER 1000 mg (PM), Men's Multivitamin, Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000 MG (AM, NOON, PM), BuSpar 5 MG (AM & PM), Ativan 1 MG as needed. My anxiety is centered around my heart and the fear of having a heart attack and developing a heart condition. I guess you could call it Cardio-Neurosis. This is exasperated by PVC's / PAC's (skipped beats) and Palpitations.
Avatar f tn I gained about 30 lbs on Citalopram. I work out and eat healthy. I just saw a new doctor and he believes the Citalopram is causing my weight gain. I have been on it for about 18 months. I am now taking half a pill of Citalopram in order to wean myself off of it. My doctor then prescribed me Bupropion HCL (take twice a day). He says that should help with weight loss. Has anyone had good experiences with Bupropion? Did you gain weight on Citalopram? Thanks!!!
Avatar n tn Hi, I've been suffering with some problems with anxiety for a long time and more recently they have led me to depression. Months back before I started really feeling the depression my doctor had me try out 20 mg's of citalopram. I was on it for three months and really didn't feel a difference in myself, so I decided to go off them. I did have some trouble withdrawing as it was quite the pain in the ***.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone I started having severe anxiety attacks two month ago, though I have suffered with anxiety my whole life. I have been on Citalopram for four days now and the side effects seems to be increasing. I am on a small dose, one quarter of a 20 mg tablet. I am suppose to go up to one half of a 20 mg tab today but am afraid to. I am jittery, have headaches, am groggy but panic when I try to sleep, have heat flashes through my upper body, my eyes feels strange...the list goes on.

Avatar m tn I have been on first 10 mg of Citalopram for 3 months and then 20 mg for 1 month. It was prescribed because I had a serious Cancer surgery, but they got it all. However, during my recovery, 4 family members passed away. i.e. the Rx. But now I do not want to be addicted to this pill, yet my dr. tells me to continue because of the stress I have been thru. I am more afraid of getting off them than continuing taking same.

Avatar n tn Hi there, im currently on 20 mg of Citalopram for my anxiety. Does anybody else have this wierd thing where they wake up and feel a little confused or disoriantated? i do. if anybody has any advise that would be great..
1767754 tn?1313873884 Did these symptoms start after you started taking citalopram or before? And did you get any testing done at the ENTs? I ask, because I'm on 10 mg a day of citalopram and recently went through eng/vertigo testing. It came back positive for bppv, but the doc also said it showed some CNS stuff. I wondered if this was the case for you or for anyone else taking citalopram--if it can cause nerve stuff.
Avatar n tn ive been taking 20 mg of citalopram for about a month. I like to have a small 4 oz to 6 0Z of Moscato Wine now and then, I haven't had any wine since I started on the citalopram.
490426 tn?1286262753 My doctors back in Israel (whre I was living before) perscribed 40 mg of Citalopram and 0.5 mg of Clonazepam daily, so I'm sticking to it. I know I have to continue with the former. I can't go off it, at least not now, knowing that my condition is not very optimal, although the latter does worry the #"#$" out of me, due to the increase to 1mg. Yeah, well a few weeks of hell I can manage. Been through much worse than that in my life.
4762310 tn?1362165935 Ok , because i was put on seroquel 50 mg and 10 citalopram and where on them for 6 weeks and they did nothing at all, so he upped the seroquel to 100mg and citalopram to 20mg and its been 2 weeks and still nothing , :S
Avatar f tn I took Citalopram for a long time without any side effects, 20 mg, although I was more comfortable with 10 mg. I have anxiety about taking drugs-go figure. It takes about 3 weeks to get the full effect of the drug and feel relief from symptoms. If you felt better at 10 mg, you might want to stay there. Just give it time to work--about another week for you. The xanax should help into the Citalopram kicks in. Hang in there.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with PVC's 15 years ago and was put on Metoprolol 25 mg. I've now been diagnosed with depression and was prescribed Prozac 10 mg which I'm afraid to take now because of the drug interactions I've seen on the internet with these two drugs. Can I run into problems by combining these two drugs.
4762310 tn?1362165935 I was on seroquel 100mg and citalopram 10 mg for anxiety and panic attaks, and he says I have deperilization so he uped the citalopram to 20 mg and put the seroquel dont too 50mg and added abilify 1mg and clonazepam 0.
4182046 tn?1355820039 I gor diagnosed with depression and anxiety and age 16, three years later here I am and pregnant!

Avatar f tn i take 800 mg of lithuim, 60mg of citalopram for my dipolar II disorder and 125mg of levothyroxine for my underactive thyrod i seem to have problems with my sex drive i never want it could it be the meds
Avatar m tn I hate taking medicines which only seems to make my anxiety worse. I am already on 10 mg of citalopram a day for my depression and take it every night. So when I had an attack earlier today took half of the lorazepam (.25) instead of the full dose being the weirdo that I am. That was four and a half hours ago. Knowing my doctor knows I am on both of these medications I forced myself to take my citalopram now before bed.
