Citalopram Side Effects
Posted , 4 users are following.
Does anyone one first starting citalopram wake up with a very rapid heart rate, the sensation that your blood pressure is at bursting point in your veins and every nerve in your body is electrified with extreme anxiety? It's immensely frightening and lasts for about half an hour, but recurs another one or two times during my nighttime.

visits to the heart specialist to make sure my heart was ok. I still had these
attacks for weeks afterwards and the early mornings were the pits nausea
shaking crying etc which I had never had 10 years ago when I started on cit
but then I was 10 years younger and my doctor explained to me that like
everything in our body the resilience is not as strong and I suffered miserably until the Meds kicked in after 2 to 3 months and then I started to feel better and now I'm fine. Everyone reacts differently but I'm sure you will eventually feel better. It's an awful long journey but remember small steps is what needed here. I found that a sedative helped me with these early morning attacks used to be called Xanax but now known as kalma but of course these need to be prescribed by a doctor. But these were very helpful in allowing me to get back to sleep and stopped the wretched palpitations . A year down the track I'm still on cit 20 mg and it works well.I don't need anything else. Doctors don't give you reassurance but you will get loads of support on this forum. We are here to hold your hand and help you along the way. Just post when you need to but be reassured it will get better so take it one step at a time.xx
