me again . day 8 of 10mg of celexa and all i do is sleep! i am so exhausted . waking up in the morning is impossible and i need to nap in the afternoon and then go to bed early too! i used to be someone who never napped and was always on the go full of energy. i literally have NONE on this med. i really need reassurance that this will pass soon because i cannot function like this and cant sleep my life away 😦

its so early days for you and that is a normal side effect. try taking it in the evening of you don't already as that will help x citalopram has antihistamine effects so honestly when your body gets used to it it will pass. I was the same for a good couple of weeks x

honestly it will pass x it takes a while but it will x if by 12 weeks you are still tired then consider it because it would be a shame to come off before they start working if that makes sense x it can take a while but it will get better x x
