yes this sensation is quite normal in the early stages of taking cit. I also had hand tremors as well as feeling shaky internally. Are you experiencing any other side effects? (I hope not but if you do just post here and we can put your mind at rest) have you thought anymore about taking a little time off work whilst you are adjusting to these meds? You really need support over this period. Have you taken a diazepam. .This will help with that shaky feeling.
god bless
here for you xxx

can someone go out and get you a protein drink? I lived on bananas and chocolate complan (270 calories each sachet) for quite some time. This way you will get some nutrients in into you. It will get better I promise you. but the first couple of weeks can be really difficult.

I started on 10mg for 8 weeks then on to 20mg for another 7 weeks. I then went up to 30mg. After another month or so I went to 40mg. Been on this dose for around 8 weeks. Although my depression is better I am nowhere near recovered. In saying that I'm fairly good in the evenings but like a zombie in bed throughout the day mostly. Citalopram has numerous successful endorsements. Many people do get full recovery on this drug. Unfortunately I'm not one of them so in the process of tapering off cit and due to start a new antidepressant.
my gp advised if after three months you are not feeling better it is the time to consider something new. How are you managing at the moment? Are you able to do a few things?
I hope I haven't put negativity in this response as that's not my intention. Citalopram is a highly rated AD. Let me know how your doing liz xxx

I really hope you see your doctor as you should be getting a bit of relief by now. I got like this and thought I was becoming agoraphobic. Once my dose was upped the fear of going out went but my lack of energy prevented me from doing so.
Some people take longer to feel any relief but don't struggle on without your doctors viewpoint.
Please keep me updated on how you are doing.i would tale the Diazepam when your struggling as they do chill you out a bit. Xxx
