hi, I've been on citalopram for 5 weeks now for my anxiety. I upped the dosage from 20mg to 40mg a week ago but have just been feeling mind numb since. is it possible for the meds to take longer to start working?
I just started taking Citalopram would that cause a numbness in my left arm? I just started taking it for Panic attacks. My doctor checked my heart and blood work and everything was good. I was freaking out thinking signs of stroke but I know it could not be that was wondering if that is a side affect and how long it would take to not happen?
Can an allergic reaction to citalopram really cause all my issues, I have been taking them for just over 2 month
a bit of a long story but a few weeks ago my doctor put me on citalopram again due to stress. i was taking 20mgs a day for 9 days then stoped due to the side effects i have while taking them
1.unable to ejaculate when having sex with my wife
2.dry mouth i think the term is cotton mouth also the feeling of tight buring lips but the lips look fine
3.
Hi, I woke 3 months ago with a really swollen ankle and leg right hand side also rightside numbness in body, I was admitted to hospital suspect stroke, I had brain scans, heart scan etc and all came back clear. On 2 more occasions the numbness came back but on the left then back to the right side of my body, I have also had boughts of fatigue, spams but only ever so slight, weakness in my arms and hands.
To treat the anxiety i started on Citalopram and this medication only made me very tired. (falling asleep in class). after talking with my counselor i started back on Add meds 2 days ago starting at 50mg Vyvanse. Once again just as focalin did this made me very sick last night causing the palor and tremor just as focalin had. I experienced twitches and insomnia last night got 2 hours of sleep but and 5 the night before but am awake but i feel terrible.
1 mixture of (S)-Citalopram and (R)-Citalopram]; Escitalopram [(S)-Citalopram) is a pure enantiomer. The dosages for Escitalopram are typically 1/2 of those for Citalopram, and there are fewer side effects, suggesting that most side effects come from the (R)-enantiomer.''
Basically escitalopram is the new citalopram with less side-effects and requires only half the dosage and I think it is the reason for it's cheaper price.

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!!!
I’ve varying accounts of people losing their libido when taking Citalopram, I had no problem maintaining an erection or ejaculation (it took longer) but the loss of sensitivity is worrying ? Anyone with a similar experience or advice ?

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 .
The Doc wants me to take citalopram for stress. What is the most common side effect?
Hi, Ive have just been prescribed Citalopram today. And im just wondering if anyone else has used these previously?
Hi guys - I 've been suffering from GAD for some time now and I've been taking citalopram for 2 weeks. I have dizzy spells during the day that come and go- I'm getting bit nervous cos of it- is this a normal side effect of the citalopram? Thanks !
but after huge waves of depression due to the lack of energy,fatiuge ect i was totaly exhasted so i started to take this new citalopram the doctor prescribed. I have been taking them for 4 weeks now and already am felling really good.
Infact i cant belive the vast improvement. I have had no migranes,no brain fog, no dizziness am thinking on my feet my vocab has speeded back up and i can thin clearer than i have in the past 2 years.
