I took Citalopram 20 mg. for several years and have now stopped, but I had no side effects at all. Didn't make me feel bad in the least and only helped me to get back on the right track. Now I don't need it. So don't go by everyone else's experience. You have to have your own.

I lost my health insurance and couldn't afford lexapro (which worked great) I tried this Citalopram - Awful- my lips dried out and cracked, very tired, and SWEATING!!!!! I never had side-effects to any medicine before - this was just horrible - The doctor won't prescribe anything else unless I come in - Duh - don't have health insurance!!!!!

Citalopram is also an antidepressant, a generic for Celexa.

HBR just designated the type of drug salt.

Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, dry mouth and sweating.

I have been taking Citalopram 20mg for 30 days and I have no side effects to this medication but it has been working very well for me. I can sleep better at night and I am not letting things get next to me at all and that works for me.

My Dr. just replaced my Lexapro with Citalopram HBR and I got to tell you, It worked wonders for me. I ran out of lexapro for about 3 weeks and let me tell you I felt awful to the point that I tried suicide. Dr. started me on Citalopram and I felt better right away. I don't know if it's psychological or not but for me it works great.

I am so relieved I took a few minutes to read these comments after receiving a notice from my medicare Part D ins. company. I will not risk taking citalopram. I would rather pay my high co-pay and continue to take my lexapro.

the reson you all feel sick from switching is because you became addicted to the meds you were originally taking and now you are having withdrawls it will go away

I have been taking Citalopram 20mg for 4 days now. I have a high stress job and found that when I'm home I get depressed and have anxiety attacks. I'm also ADD, with a smidgen of OCD thrown in. argh
I also now take 2 Temazepam 15mg to sleep. Even though the Citralopram mellows me out and I "feel" tired I cannot sleep with just that. I had been taking Ambien but that stopped working for me.
I have been sober from drugs and alcohol for 14.5 years now and have just recently had these bouts with depression, anxiety and insomnia.
I drive fine and run a fleet of 185 vehicles, trucks and over see 20 people, teach 4 groups a week at night and have found that I'm much more focused now.
Yes, it's only been 4 days....so hopefully this will continue to work for me.
These medications may not be for everyone...but they sure as heck work for me. I'm grateful to finally be able to not have my mind all over the place and land in a dark zone.

I take wellbutrin, but that made me get the crying jags, so they put me on Citalopam hbr 20mg along with the wellbutrin and I'm feeling great. I'm a little tired, but not bad.

This is the second time in my life that a doctor has prescribed Citalopram for anxiety/depression (they are often very related). I take it right before bed because of the drowsiness, but I sleep very well and wake up fine. It is helping me in many ways.

Citalopram 20MG: I have been on Lexapro 10MG and felt wonderful, 1st time in years and was also added Citalopram 20 MG and have felt like crap since I started taking it together. Does anyone else take both? I think I'll try to go back to just the Lexapro - I think it's wonderful for me;

I know what you mean about changing meds. I was on cymbalta and now they won't pay for it and I have now been put on Citalopram 20mg. I am just weaning off of cymbalta so I will try to keep you posted on how I am doing, as right now I am scared with the change.

After reading someone else's post about being exhausted and have no energy, this puts me at peace. I could not figure out why I was so tired all the time -- just worn out -- no energy at all. I've been taking citalopram for about 4 months now. I was taking Celexa, but my insurance company would not pay for it. I hate taking medication as it is, but I needed something to help with my slight depression. I want my energy back!
