Hi,

Yawning
Itching
the odd night sweats
Blurred vision when trying to focus (reading mainly)
I have a review appointment wI think my gp next week.
Thanks,

Hi Alicia, I've been on 10mg of Citalopram for 7 weeks now and for the first week I was stretching and yawning a lot! Also yes my vision isn't as good as it was but that will settle in time everyone has different reactions but I feel better in myself hope you do too

Yep, they are a few, but won't mention the possibility of any more because, you may not get them and we don't want anyone over thinking or worrying for no reason!

It will get better eventually, you just have to accept and put up for as long as it takes. I guarentee it IS WORTH IT!

Thanks all for replying,
Are the itching amd sweats definitely a side effect as I've been worrying that it might be something else, I've been getting myself into a right state! X

They all sound very familiar except the blurred vision , I also had the shakes & loss of appetite & unsettled stomach but it was all worth it in the end.

I had a shaky leg on and off for 12 weeks until I reduced my dose to 10mg
