I took 10mg citalopram for 2 months with good results for depression and fibromyagia. Results were not 100% so upped dose to 20mg. have been taking 20mg at night for 5 days and feel tired and hungry all the time. Even after 9 hours sleep I still have to sleep again for 3 to 4 hours in the daytime. Always wake up ravenously hungry which causes me to overeat. since I have recently lost 3stones in weight I am very worried about this. Will the tiredness and hunger stop?
Any advice is much appreciated.
I think it more than likely will settle down Hun.
I know when I started mitral alien,everybody warned me about munchies and weight gain..I had a increased appetite for about a week and it wasn't huge,just more than I'd been able to eat previously. From about the end of week one....the appetite disappeared again. I wouldn't worry to much. Once they settle into your system,you can think about cutting back a little. Main thing is getting well xx
Usually takes a couple of weeks but could take up to a month to clear
Thanks Gillian and Tazchurch. I'll stick it out for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Feel better already hearing from you guys.
Omg wish this thing would stop making things up lol It's ment to say Mirtazapine not mitral alien xxx
Your welcome. Forgot to mention that the tiredness usually subsides when your mood lifts xx
I WAS THE SAME WAY ON 10 MG. EXCEPT I COULDN'T EAT
