Hi I was just wondering if what I am feeling is normal.. I have only just started taking these tablets 5 days ago.. but I get head aches everyday I can't get put off bed I feel dizzy I'm not eating.. I have switched over from another tablet as they were making me feel worse.. I don't no what to do
Wait and see if these side effects wear off as they may do after a few weeks my daughter is taking the same abd also suffered from aching limbs tiredness the turedness has got better so give it time x God luck
i Have these sat in a box no tried them yet have heard good and bad about them give them another couple weeks and hopefully these side effects will go xx
Yeah I'm gunna still keep taking them I just wanna able to get out off bed.. I just didn't know if it was normal for me to be feeling like this I feel like I'm dieing
There better than the ones I was taking but still feeling dizzy and tried all the time and can't get out off bed atm
It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks for antidepressants to work and your body needs time to get used to any effects it may or may not cause. Give it a bit longer, don't stop taking them without consulting with your doctor.
Hope you feel better soon.

i keep arguing with myself about starting to take them i already suffer with fibromyalgia so i struggle to get out of bed at best of times lol
I no but surely I should be able to get out off bed without getting a massive head ache and dizzy feeling I can't do anything day to day
Bless ya I'm finding it hard to get out off bed I've managed to have a shower but feEl like crap again
Hi Sophie,
I had all of these symptoms plus a lot more, wieght gain, extreme fatigue, high blood pressure, I was on 50 mg to start, then 100mg, then 150mg, my depression was worse than before, so last month I told my GP I wanted to stop taking them, I have now stopped after decreasing by 50mgs a week, I feel better, my bp has gone down (which means I need'nt have been put on bp meds which I now have to take for life!) I sleep better, so all I can say is like me persevere for a few months see how you go, but if like me after 18 months you still don't feel better come off them,
hope you feel better soon,
Love ,Lynne.
Expect this to last awhile being on the Zoloft/ Sertaline ride.
Hi Lynne, I've been on Citalopram now for 9 months, I have had some good times on them but the last 2-3 months I've steadily got worse again, would u recommend I stick on them (for 18 months like u did) or see Dr and ask for a change of meds?.... Thank you Lynne
I would definitely recommend you see the Dr and ask for a change, I'm so glad I'm off them, hope you feel better soon.
Hugs
Lynne
Thank you sophie
