Swollen Face
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hey
I've been on Citalopram 10mg for 4 wks now
I have noticed some differences from the way I previously was before I started them.. still have side effects
I no this might sound very vain but everyday I take a photo of myself as my eyes have been quite sore and strained so I compare each day the difference to see if they've improved..
I've noticed the other day that my face was very swollen an lips... could this be an allergic reaction?? I'm also very itchy too.
Any Advise would be great

I had itchyness on face from 10mg 1 week and for the last 4 weeks on 20mg. I'm not sure could if it's allergic reaction but I've heard others say they have similar and it goes away after 6 - 8 weeks. My advice and what I am doing is sticking it out till 8 weeks and if still bad side effects will maybe switch or lower or upper dose depending on what doc says. Maybe see doc as they probably know more though.
Sorry can't be more help but wishing you good luck x
