The side effects you are experiencing are perfectly normal. When my gp first prescribed cit she signed me off for two weeks.
You will feel better, but it will take a few weeks for the tablets to take start working and the side effects to go away.
In the meantime, just try and take it easy. I hope you're feeling better soon.
I had a difficult few weeks when I started taking Citalopram and nearly gave up taking it.I persevered and things started to improve by week 4 and I'm gradually starting to feel better.
It may help to switch to taking it at a different time,I switched from morning to evening in the first weeks and that did help me.I've now gone back to early in the day as my sleep was becoming disturbed .
Good luck,

thanks for the advice, im feeling alot better today and the sickness has started to subside thank godness ! i have started taking it in the evening now and touch wood today i have felt pretty normal no feeling spaced out or dizzy although i didnt sleep very well last night i would rather take it in the evening and feel normal in the day feeling much more positive about carrying on taking it now. :D
