From what I am aware there are no issues with excercising when taking Citalopram and basically I think it is just a case of excercising as soon as you feel up to it really. I went on the rowing machine at home a few days after starting them and I decided to give it a rest for a couple of weeks as it just didn't feel good dur to the sickness feeling I was getting but this did ease and after a few weeks I started to work out at the gym again and carry on a normal life.

I tried Citalopram and in the end I came off them and opted for CBT as for me the tablets didn't help but when I first started them I got all of the above and at first it was a little uncomfortable but the key the for me was just realising that the side effects were perfectly normal and weren't hurting me what so ever and that nothing bad would come of them. They do settle themselves down.
The key is to try and get on with things as normal as possible and if you like to excercise then continue doing so and try and live as normal life as possible within reason. If you do get any side effects then adjust your routine where you need to until they pass.
A good few people are worried to do anything strenuous as they have read the side effects and see things such as increased blood pressure and pulse. These can be side effect of the medication and should you have these then obviously adjust what you do until they subside, if you feel that things aren't improving then go back and see your doctor. But don't put your life on hold fearing the worse mate because things will improve and you will be able to get on like normal.
