Hi,
I've been taking Citalopram 20mg for two weeks now and have two side-effects which I find disturbing. Firslty I can't stop yawning and secondly I can't achieve an orgasm. Do the side-effects wear off eventually? I can't see myself coping with them much longer.
Yes and yes...for me.
The yawning has stopped for me....about a week ago...or at least dramatically reduced.
The other thing worried me too but has now resolved itself...but i have heard thats not always the case.
Thanks for the reply. Can I ask how long it took for the yawning to stop? I'm not tired or listless but something is triggering the yawning mechanism and I'm getting eye-watering wide yawns every few minutes and they're driving me crazy.
Hi grunthos firstly I think you could be tired whilst on cit. Your second problem should go away in a few weeks. Min did x
About a month
Thanks for the reply. The thing is I'm not tired at all, I just get eye-watering yawns every few minutes. I suppose I'll just have to grin and bear it.
I too had the yawning when I first started Citalopram but within the first month it was gone or at least greatly reduced to where it wasn't a problem anymore.
I lost my sex drive as well at first but that has started to come back to some degree.
