Hi folks,
I am on my third week of 10mg of citalopram and i really am having trouble staying awake, every time I sit down I end up napping, it's so embarrasing. I have zero energy - for the first week I took my tablet in the evening BUT found i was wide awake so I have now started taking the tablet first thing in the morn (hoping I would be wide awake BUT no I am just totally exhausted?!
Also my stomach is pretty swollen, bloated and cramp like - is this a side effect that will disappear in time too?
All advice welcome
Hi Debs I have been on the same for 3 weeks and cannot sleep.
Hi Debs, I just started week 5 today, unfortunatly I'm still struggling to sleep for more than 5 hours, and get woken with a hot flush, then can't get back to sleep :-(( x
hi, I think I was narcoleptic for the first month on 10mg and not being able to sleep at night was awful but the 10mg is the therapeutic dose and doesn't really help with sleep issues when I moved up to the 20mg the doc told me this should help the sleeping (this strength is the minimum treatment dose) now, sleep problems are much better, after about 3weeks on 20mg I was finally getting a full night in! Hope this helps x
