    Hi Lori-ann

    47 seems a little low especially if you are not resting. I would check this out with your doctor either way. May be worth ringing the surgery for advice.

      Yes it is a resting pulse.. running around 60 standing. Low pulse a side effect of this medication do you know?

    Hi Lori-ann

    If you have a low resting heart rate, which it seems you have, you should speak to your doctor about it when taking citalopram. On my citalopram leaflet it says tell your doctor if you have a low resting heart rate.

      forgot to mention, my pulse and blood pressure was all over the place when i tapered off some other head medication, so it could be temporary.  I have a blood pressure machine for when I am tapering of meds, I know you are not tapering but I noticed since being on this forum that the side effects of starting are similar to tapering.
