Headaches And Sore Joints From Citalopram (Top voted first)

I have been taking Citalopram for 2 weeks and have been suffering painful headaches and aching joints. I also have had an ulcer on my tongue for the past 3 days. Just feeling worse for taking them. Has anybody else had similar effects and do they get better?

Headaches can be a side effect, most of which will wear off after about a month, as your body gets used to the medication.

Mouth ulcers and aching joints are not normal reactions to SSRI antidepressants. Please call your doctor to rule out a severe adverse reaction or some other illness.

far as mouth ulcers, on tongue an inside gums an cheeks, take a dry cloth an pat dry area, take some gentian violet, a topical anesthic an paint sore, let dry as best you can, the medication has to be asked for at the pharmacy, it requires no prescription, should nt cost no more than $3, used to treat thrash in babys mouth, very good medicine to use on any open wound, its just purple an it will stain anything that it touches, when used on the skin it has to be worn off
