i was taking citralopram 10mg for 5 days and can honestly say the side effects were awful, feeling shakey, sick sweating , hyper , headaches , feeling like going mad. I spoke to the dr who advised i changed to 25mg Sertraline some how even though it sounds more its actaully less ingrediant than the 10mg citralopram. I am on day 4 and so far no major side effects i actually feel quite good but this is worrying me are the suddenly going to hit me. i actaully feel more calm waking up better etc i have some palpitations when going to sleep but other than that i feel ok but im worried because i feel ok which is bonkers and typical anxiety is this normal? my other concern is it says up to 1 in 100 on side effects can get tumor is taking this medication going to increase my chances of cancer?
