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.
