I was told there would br no problems.Well I am not able to reach orgasm through sex or masturbation.i go for so long that after a while I start to lose my erection.I'm thinking of Quito g this medication.do the side affects go away after a couple of weeks. ## Normally, side effects hit their peak at around 4 to 6 weeks of use, as your body gets used to a medication, then they start to taper off in severity. However, the chest pain isn't normal for an antidepressant and if it's only been 5 days, then ...

Is citalopram a sulfa drug? I just started this, and I'm starting to feel the tingling and burning in my hands. I'm allergic to sulfa. ## Hello, Bob! How are you? No, this is not a sulfonamide. Citalopram is classified by the FDA as an SSRI antidepressant. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache and weight gain. However, it is known that if you're allergic to one medication, there is a definite risk that you will also be allergic to others. Did you experience any other adverse effects?

For about 3 to 4 weeks now I have been having trouble sleeping. I wake in the middle of the night and my mind starts going and I have terrible trouble shutting back down. My mind says, "what time is it? I need to get back to sleep", "I have to work in the morning" and on and on. Consumed with the thought of sleep I sometimes fail to go back to sleep. sometimes I do but it takes 2 hours. I have had this issue since I was a child but it only manifests itself every 6 months to a year or maybe even less. But lately its been, like I said, a couple of months with this. So I became desperate for relief. I went to my GP and she prescribed citalopram. Her diagnosis was anxiety. I suppose waking in the middle of the night and having a racing mind is a sort of anxiety thing. Unders...

My son has been taking 20 mg citalopram for a few years and started with anxiety and depression issues a week ago and the doctor added 10 mg to add to his 20 on Tuesday. He seemed fine and on Saturday he said that he felt weird. I don't know whether to stop it and if so how do you stop the 10 mg? Please advise. ## Hello, Joan! How is your son doing? He might be experiencing side effects, which would be normal, if his dose has been raised. What types of symptoms is he experiencing? The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

Recently tested positive for methamphetamine and have never taken it in my life. I take keppa 500mg 2 times per day and celexa 40 mg 1 time per day. I do drink NOS energy drinks occasionally and I smoke menthol cigarettes. Could this have caused some kind of reaction to make the test false positive for methamphetamine?

Can citalopram make you gain weight or make it difficult to lose weight ## Personally, I have not found citalopram to make me gain weight. I have been on it for about 4 years did not gain any weight when I started it, nor have I had trouble losing weight when I try ... when I can put the ice cream away, that is :) ## Citalopram is an SSRI antidepressant, so yes it can cause weight problems in some people, but as evidenced by Mariah, it doesn't happen to everyone.

I have been taking Citalopram for about 4 months now, I still cry every week and I feel more depressed than what I felt before taking these tabs, they really make me feel awful, I stay in bed most of the time and very rarely venture out of the house, I am becoming a recluse and feel like I am heading for a huge breakdown, has anyone else experience these side-effects on Citalopram ## It is well known that some antidepressant can backfire in some people that take them, this may actually cause depression, or make existing depression and anxiety worse. Learn more Citalopram details here. Have you contacted your doctor? It just doesn't seem that this is the right medication for you to take and you should be switched to something else. ## Hi Michelle when do you take the CITALOPRAM in th...

Hi I'm Chantelle my GP today prescribed citalopram 10mg for my anxiety/depression, after reading things from other users of this product I'm scared of taking it because the most common cause feeling sick is one of my biggest fears, with actually being sick, and I don't know whether to to take it! :( would I be better taking it before bed so I won't feel any symptoms, thanks ## Hi Chantelle, While I don't have any personal experience with citalopram, I do think it's important to understand that medications can and usually do effect everyone differently, whereas some people get great results, but there are others that it inevitably just doesn't work for no matter how many they take. Unfortunately when it comes to prescription drugs, the only way to find out is ...

My doctor recently put me on citalopram. I lost my appetite and feel exhausted with this pill. Is this a side effect? ## Citalopram is not a narcotic, it is an SSRI antidepressant. And yes, those can be side effects, while your body is adjusting to the medication, you may also experience nausea and dry mouth. It usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the medication to reach its full effects and then the side effects should slowly start to taper off. However, if you don't experience any improvement, you should contact your doctor. Are there any other questions? ## Will citaprolam make me gain weight...also im interesred in all news about incivek and all hep c news ## How long does citalopram remain active in your body ## Is Citalopram Hydrobromide perscribed for menopause patients?

I've been on 20mg Citalopram for almost 6 weeks now and don't feel any better, of anything I'm more depressed and anxious than I was before. My GP has talked about increasing the dose but I don't know wether it's the Citalopram, making me worse or if the dosage isn't strong enough. Any thoughts plaeas? ## Too many physicians don't take side effects seriously, and rather than stopping the antidepressant, increase the dose. A major side effect of all antidepressants is a deeper depression. Although I'm a layman, I've been through enough therapy and antidepressants to know that what your doctor is doing is wrong. For one thing, psychiatrists should be prescribing antidepressants, not general practitioners. My advice is not to increase the dose and to see...

It says on their website and several others that it is gluten free. However I experienced the same problem you did I would take it and get really sick like a sprue out break. They say they are gluten free but I am no longer taking my Citalopram 20mg ## It depends on who the manufacturer and since this is a generic, there are several different companies that make it. Are there any markings on the tablets you need information on? ## It is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharmaceuticals. I am gluten intolerant. Every time I take it I have elevated pulse rate just as I do when I accidentally have gluten. I'm trying to taper off and having withdrawal,don't like the idea of possibly gluttening myself.
