Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to read this. quick question: did anyone experience tightness in their chest muscles when taking this medication? also, I am feeling a burning sensation in my stomach that does not feel like reflux which I am very used to but more like inflammation if that makes sense.

I'm guessing these are just side effects I'm on week 4 of citalopram and every week seems to throw something different at me.

would would like to hear that I'm not alone with these symptoms!

Thanks for taking the time to read,

matt

    Yes! I had this during the first week. I've read that other people have had the same. I thought it was heartburn or reflux too. Someone also said that they can get stuck in your throat from being so small, and to drink a full glass of watering when taking it. Hope this eases for you soon!
