    Hi Michelle if you at the beginning of your journey with citalopram then bad days are still normal.

    i am on week 6 and still have funny sensations. yesterday i had very cold feet, last week very hot flashes on my legs.

    10 mg seems a very low dose although i obviously don't know your diagnosis.

    anyway citalopram takes time before working and side effects are many especially at the beginning.

      Hi Silvia, I have had my dosage upped to 30 mg since last Monday. I have been getting a lot of gastric discomfort which is making me anxious, nervous and depressed. The trigger to all this is a health worry I have. My original dose was 20 mg.

      I also have a health anxiety.

      I have been always on 20 mg only once 20 years ago i took 30 mg

      Citalopram can mess your tummy too I get gas....hopefully a temp issue.

      I have only had the gastric discomfort for the last couple of weeks. I also have a lot of gas too.

    Michelle,

    Please hang in there. I went through that back in Sept/ October. I feel going up will just exacerbate the side effects. Remember I went from the 10 to 5 and it was not

    pretty. As I feel this drug plays with our minds. It is just reminding us these blips are ugly.

    Will
