Hi everyone!  I started on citalopram in late August at 5mg... worked up to 10, then 20 and have been at 30mg since mid. November.  The only side effect that seems to linger is the breast tenerderness.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any adivce?  I think I am going up to 40 mg. at  my next appointment in March.  Just want some opinions.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi! I started at 10mg 6 weeks ago. It doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot. I haven't experienced breast tenderness. Morning anxiety..night sweats aren't as bad as initially..and nausea are the se that linger for me.

      Hang in there tosha.  It will get better.  I also have some morning anxiety, but it has definately improved.
