      Hi Sam I would definitely make an appointment to see your GP and discuss medication side effects, I think that could be part of the problem, also up your fluid intake as in water, your doing everything ok.

      Remember it could also be stress related if your going through a busy time

      Hi Sam, as the drug you are taking has citalopram in it the most common symptoms are drowsiness, tired feeling;

      sleep problems (insomnia);

      mild nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, dry mouth;

      cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough;

      increased sweating or urination, weight changes; or.

      decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm.

      Taking zopiclone with it as well we most likely be the cause.

      I would take Alexandria advice and go and speak to either your GP or most local pharmacists now can guide you and speak with your Dr directly.

      Hope this helps.

      Let us know how you get on, or if you need any extra advice.

      Best regards

      Buggsy
