    Hi Aly

    Yes, i've never had headaches anything like i've had since I started taking the Citalopram tables a week ago, in fact I didn't take yesterday's tablet over it because my headache was making me feel sick, i've had aching joints too, still got headache today, i've been in touch with my doctors surgery this morning and i'm waiting for a call back from my GP because i'm really not sure if I want to continue with them now??

    Take care

    Hi Ali/madwoman666

    Hope you both ok today?

    Had call from GP last night, she advised me to stop taking tablets and i've got to go back and see her because she wants to keep an eye on me.

    Still got a bad headache today but it doesn't feel so much like someone is inside my head squeezing anymore, it's more like just a bad tension headache, i'm under alot of stress at the moment so I suppose it's only to be expected hey.

    Just want to wish you guys luck, i'll keep and eye on your posts to see how your doing.

    Take Care
