I was perscribed 10mg tablets of Citalopram, and I took my first one today, along with my usual 175mg of Lamotrigine. I have been told about the side effects, but (rather stupidly) didn't pay much attention since I had no problems with Lamotrigine.
Today I just had a random bout of sickness without actually feeling sick beforehand. I know sickness is supposed to be a side effect, and I was wondering what side effects you guys who've taken it have had... just for support really.

Hi, I take citalopram 30mg. For the first two weeks I suffered from bouts of feeling sick and therefore also decreased appetite. But that soon passed and then i was fine. It works well for me.
I went up tp 40, and my dr kept asking if it was feeling sick at all, luckily i wasnt, however it did give me problems sleeping and also, had rather random weird dreams! :) but yeah sickness is normal! :)
Learn from the past, Hope for tomorrow, Live for today

Thanks for all you have done guys, you mean so much to me! :)
Nausea is normal, especially for the first couple of weeks you are on it. It will probably go away soon once your body adapts to it. It should say in your leaflet too.
If you are worried go back to your doctor.
Hope it helps you! Take care. =]

iv been on doses up to 40. 10 is very low and wont do much but u do have to slowly work your way up. when i first started taking it i just felt a bit odd, my pupils dilated and i felt like i was on drugs. i was abit shaky and felt a bit sick, but never was sick. the side effects took about 10 days to a couple of weeks to wear off.
For me it only decreased my appetite a little bit at first, but that wore off soon. I've had my doses upped a few times since and haven't noticed any other side effects. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me either, but everyone's different.
Hope it helps you and the nausea wears off soon.
Yes, got the sickness and tiredness/feeling a bit spaced out. (Sadly no benefit either, so now on Cipralex and that seems to be working.) Hope it works for you and the SEs wear off soon
Iwas on it - it did miracles but it gave me weird WEIRD dreams and some hallucinations... I felt sick for a while but that passes after teh first week - give it time and usually a higher dose takes a bit longer to ware off.... Hope it works for you

i got nausea, insomnia, dizziness, sleepy, "high feeling", first dose i took it, made me feel super bad, came off it next day. (course i was put on it by a dr who thinks my now diagnosed m.e was down to anxiety. sure thang dr.)
I also had quite bad sickness when I started Citalopram too. It was quite bothersome so I went to my GP who gave me some anti-sickness tablets for a while until it subsided - might be worth a try if it doesn't ease up?
Hope you feel better soon and that the Citalopram helps you
Hi, I've had 20mg, then 40mg and now down to 30mg. I've not really had many side effects - feeling tired is probably the only one. But I did have some mental things going on in the first 2 weeks - I had exaserbated suicidal ideation the first few days I took it and then super irritable the rest of the two weeks.
