Unfortunately something went horribly wrong and he could not swallow food afterwards! So a feeding tube was used and then removed after three long years. He can eat but very very slowly cause he chokes soooo severly on everything! He can only swallow with his head tilted to the right also. His appetite still has never returned, so wanting to eat is almost gone! Is there anything that can help with this?
During those three months I have been on three different antidepressants (Poraxetine, Zoloft, and Citalopram). Presently, I am on citalopram 10 mil. I started out on the 20 mil but my body could not take it, my anxiety increased ten fold. I was put on the 10 mil for 7 to 10 days and then tried the 20 mil. But again the anxiety increased, and I had muscle twitching and involuntary muscle jerking while seated and in bed at night.

Are they referring to people with active eating disorders who are in a compromised medical state and more prone to seizing, or will anyone who has ever had an eating disorder be denied this med? I am not asking for Wellbutrin because of the weight loss side effects- 100% honest!!- but instead for its apparent success rate.
Finally, do I simply ask my doctor to prescribe it for me? Or would they have to recommend it?
Hi I am getting bad burning/ tingling in mouth and also same on inner thighs and lower legs with pain behind my ears, neck , under arms and bot knees and elbows. I am on citalopram for anxiety but symptoms getting worse, any ideas?
s friend Emily sees me at my skinniest and suddenly starts to lose a noticeable amount of weight. Is this subconscious for Emily? I have done a lot of research on eating disorders and this issue is glossed over completely without fail. Does anyone in the healthcare industry have any info on this or opinion.....I am writing a book.
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!!!
Hi all,
I'm a sixteen year old girl with really bad anxiety and OCD. When I was a little kid, I had a phobia of choking for four years, which got so bad that I stopped eating solid food entirely, and had panic attacks if I was around "choking hazards" (small toys, beads, etc). It was mainly about breathing, not choking itself, since I was also very scared of drowning, suffocating, having a heart attack, etc.
i have been on citalopram for two years and put on 50lb, which really depresses me since my eating and exercise regime has never changed. looking on the net i discovered wellburtrin, so i will ask my gp if i can swap over to this. i just want to know would i stop taking citalopram and start taking wellburtrin, or would i cut the dosage of citalopram down and take the new wellbutrin with it.
Hi
I switched from Fluoxetine to Citalopram about 6 months ago as the Fluoxetine was making me gain weight. Since I've been on Citalopram I've put on even more, and am now about 2 stone (14kg) heavier than I was before I started.
I don't want to come off ADs as they're helping me so much, but at the same time I don't know if I can cope with any more weight gain.
Has anyone experienced weight gain with certain antidepressants then been able to lose with a different one?
While I was spending time on my aunts farm for 1 month every summer vacation I drank raw milk, in that 1 month I never had problems going to the bathroom and every time I came back to school all my teachers and friends said I look healthy. My skin was so silky and smooth and I was always at a healthy weight. When I was in the city drinking pasteurized milk all my problems gradually came back with in a few months.
I've just been put on citalopram for depression and BDD and after reading the reviews and side effects leaflets, im worried about gaining weight on this medication...Is it the actual increase in hunger that causes weight gain or the tablet itself? I am quite worried about this as my body image issues make me scared about putting on weight..
