Increasing lethergy and exhaustion
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi I'm new to the Forum and am desperate for advice.I've been taking 20mg Citralopram for 3 weeks.For the first few days I felt sick but thankfully this has now passed but I am becoming increasingly more lethargic and exhausted. I felt like this before taking Cit, but I feel much worse now.I'm finding it difficult to function normally and when I force myself to do something it doesn't help to make me feel livelier it just makes me feel worse.
I've read that this is a common side effect of Cit. but how long does it last? If it continues I would much rather feel how I did before I started taking it.
My Dr said to go back to see him after I'd been taking it for 6 weeks but I've made an appointment to see him next week which will be 4 weeks.I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this when taking Citralopram and to know if it disappeared with time and left them feeling better,
Thank you

It took me about 7 weeks before the lethargy/lack of motivation completely lifted.I think it has something to do with Cit unbalancing the balance with dopamine (what gives you that get up and go feeling) x
