Hi, I started citalopram a week ago. The posts here seem to be from years ago and just wondered if this post was still active and anyone else had just started. Feeling very nauseous. with lack of appetite.
hi
I’ve just started on 20mg I’m about 8 days in and I have major panic attacks first thing in.the morning I also get dry mouth and also feel sick
apparently it does get better
hope your OK
i am on day 7 but I’m only taking 5mg before I up to 10mg. Yes, hopefully the nausea will subside soon for us both!
In my experience, side effects will come and go for the first 6 weeks or so and you’re likely to get them each time you change your dose upwards.
Started this medicine 2x. Both times the med made my anxiety worse for a few days before I saw any progress. One week in I was feeling less anxiety attacks, more just kinda blah. Week two I was starting to have better days mixed with bad ones.
By week 4 I was laughing again. The tears stopped, I could get out of my home.
This drug is great!
Thank you for your reply and really pleased it has worked for you. Struggling with the nausea at the moment but hoping it will pass!
Thank you. im planning on staying on 5mg for a few weeks but will see how soon the side effects subside. Im surprised I’m getting them on such a low dose.
