hi there this is probably a stupid question but I received a new pill packaging for my citalopram started it yesterday this is my 4th month on them and going well some anxiety but that I can cope with! My first tablet of the new packet was yesterday and last night I started to have aches and pains like flu symptoms today was grand until after I took the tablet bam  I feel like someone has kicked me about the room no temperatures iv taken paracetamol but is this a viral thing or side effect??? I have taken different boxes in the past and been ok maybe it's just a co incidence as my boys have a bug also! 

Thanks emz x

    I think it's a coincidence. Each time I have got my prescription it's been a different brand and different packaging. Funnily though the instruction leaflet on the inside is always the same. Hope you feel better soon
