Citalopram :: 2 Days Of Taking - Felt My Head On Fire
Apr 2, 2016
I was recently put on this medication for PPD and anxiety, I was hesitant from the beginning. Last night after 2 hours of taking my 10 mg dosage I felt so out of it and felt like I was dreaming, shortly after I felt my head on fire. Soon it moved to the rest of my body. I was so scared, fiancé decided to take me to the hospital because he saw how I was. He also noticed my eyes were extremely dilated. The doctor that seen me just pretty much said stop taking it and call your dr first thing but it's the weekend so I'm out of luck. Right now I'm still feeling out of it, sweaty palms, anxious. Not really wanting to leave the couch. I feel worse now then when I started this medication. I regret taking this drug, it completely scared me to take any sort of antidepressant.

I have just been put on citalopram 3 days ago on 20 mg. I'm so tired and have not left my bed in the past 3 days. My head feels weird and i do feel really sick till round the afternoon. I'm thinking of taking the tablet before bed see if that makes any difference as i might sleep through it. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms ? Will this actually work , i know it doesn't work straight off but will i start to feel better in time ?
I have zero energy , i feel constantly down , i hate leaving the house and i have shut myself of from the outside world. I have lost my friends but that was through my friend who went out to ruin my life and turned everyone against me. I really hope these tablets will help me get back to the person i was. Im going to start the gym once im more confident and have controlled my anxiety.

So I lost my prescription of citalopram 10mg and missed taking it for 3 days while I waited for a new prescription. I've started my new prescription about a week ago and experiencing symptoms like loose stool and dry mouth etc, is this due to re starting the tablets again? Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm so fed up! I don't see how my life can go from so good, to this complete isolation within a couple of weeks. I'm constantly anxious about my future, and what lies ahead for me. I feel so insecure, and feel like i'm living my life day by day, to survive. Citalopram is just making me tired at strange times of the day, i have NO motivation to do anything at all. I tried to see friends yesterday, but didn't enjoy it at all, i just wanted to be at home, this is not me? I feel like i've got someone else's personality.
Work is so hard, to just be in. I feel like there's no one there for me other than my Mum.
I seriously don't know how i'm going to get through this now. I'm so scared.
I'm seeing my counsellor later today, its the only thing thats keeping me going today.

I've just started taking carbimazole and Citalopram and wondered if there is anyone else taking these meds together please? The Citalopram is for anxiety caused by the hyperthyroidism. Has anyone else been in the same position and have you found they've helped or have you had any side effects?
I take my meds at night before I go to bed. So far, I've had a terrible headache and when I get up in the morning I feel almost 'spaced' out and really groggy but nothing major and I'm hoping these will pass once my body gets used to it?

I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, with severe depression. It has been coming up for over a year now. Just started taking quetiapine along with zopiclone and citalopram. Idea is to come off zopiclone/citalopram and increase quetiapine. Is this the only treatment for this?? Only thing I have noticed is I am now having more than 2 hrs sleep. Other than that all the symptoms are exactly the same.

Today may 24 I just started taking my citalopram 10mg and at first I was okay. But then I felt overwhelmed. I felt like my head wasn't getting any oxygen. Like someone was sitting on my head. When for a car ride with my wife and just felt motion sickness. All day I didn't feel normal and then all of a sudden I just started crying for no reason. I had to force myself to eat. I feel really tired and drained but I can tend to even take a nap. I just don't know what to do.

Iv started citalopram yesterday 20mg but the dr only told me to start with half to start with. I am 22. Never been on any tablets like this before so I am really scared. I constantly feel dizzy like I'm going to die and pass out and sick and feel like someone is standing on my head. Does anyone know when the side effects will go? And are these tablets any good? When you start seeing results? I know the dr told me to only start taking half but I already feel panicky and dizzy.

I've just started taking Citalopram a day ago but already feel the side effects starting. Is it normal for them to start so soon? I feel weirdly sleepy and keep yawning. I also feel a bit shaky and for some reason I can't stop grinding my teeth. Are these symptoms or am I just imagining them because I know that I will be experiencing them soon? I would love for some people to share their experiences with the drug, it's taken me a while to get to the point where I've been comfortable enough to finally talk about my depression and start taking them.

So I've decided to bite the bullet and move up to 20 mg after being on 10mg for 4 months.
The side effects aren't as bad there manageable which is a plus.
I do have pain/numbness/tingling in the back right hand side of my head (I think it's where the mind is located) I was wondering if this will go away as it's driving me crazy day in day out .

Today is Day 7 of taking Duromine 40mg, first time taking Duromine!
I started weighing 75kgs, I was on Liproxenol for 2 months and went to the gym nearly everyday, or did some sort of exercise & lost 5kgs. Stopped after that as it didn't seem to work anymore? Then I put 3kgs back on which brings me back to 73kgs. I then lost 2.5kgs just eating healthy and working out daily. So I went to the local Dr. Who prescribed me Duromine 40mgs, I started the next , only got 2 weeks worth as I wanted to see how my body would react to them.
Day 1: I woke up at 6am took the tablet and fell back asleep, at 7:40am I woke up with a burst of energy didn't even feel like I just had woken, throughout the day constant dry mouth, no hunger pains at all, energy went up and down by 11pm that evening I still hadn't eaten just drank water non stop all day long, nothing seemed to stop my dry mouth! As much as I wanted to eat I tried to force myself to eat toast but couldn't at all.
Day 2: 6am took the tablet, felt kind of scattered out and " out of it " didn't have as much energy as the day before, still dry mouth! Drank lots of water, I constantly feel like I need to "pee" but its like a busting feeling but go and its nothing at all? Frustrating! I was able to eat a apple, 2 pieces of toast and picked at dinner later that night, around 10pm that night I felt hungry, but would try and eat and couldn't stomach it
Day 3: Felt tired , took the pill at 6am but this time slept till 10:30! Woke up, still very thirsty, not much energy, felt very dizzy and felt like I needed to be sick! I only ate a few oranges that day and ate dinner as normal! It feels like to me it stops working in the evening more towards 11pm..
Day4: I gave myself a break didn't take it this day, and it was like my body had no effect to the duromine all I wanted was food food food! Had breakfast lunch & dinner!
Day5: Took it at 7am, hour later straight up with a burst of energy, dry mouth same effects as day 1, also dizzy, felt weak but felt hungry went for a walk to burn some of that energy! Stayed in bed for all the afternoon after the walk..But was able to eat later that evening..
Day6: 7am took it , slept till 9:30ish woke up felt normal only had a dry mouth, energy wasn't any different, ate subway for lunch 6inch and had dinner as normal no picking felt hungry still after?
Day7: 7am took it, slept till 9am didn't feel like eating today at the start, around 12 got hunger pains, at 3 apples, then later had 2 scrambled eggs with tomato ( struggled to handle the smell or eat them ) just before forcing myself to eat them I was starting to feel sick, very very dizzy! After I forced myself I felt like I was going to be sick, laid down and felt weak and tired for a few hours. Then for dinner and a small portion of it.. Felt hungry after but everytime I go to eat my mind sort of rejects it?
I exercise morning and night and try to around lunch time as well everyday, I walk wherever I have to go that's not a massive distance! I drink glasses a day of water, and I eat healthy when I do it.
I weighed myself today at 70kgs!!?
Why is this working so slow for me? Specially when my eating has come down so much, I exercise daily!? It's like nothing is changing.. Anyone have any ideas? I feel like Duromine is a waste? I read all these success stories but struggling to lose weight?

I have been on the pill for a year and I stopped taking it just over a month ago. I was having sex just up until I stopped taking it (long distance relationship). Just after I stopped taking it I had a light period but since then I haven't got a period again and it's currently 12 days late. I had some PMS right before I was supposed to get my period but it never came. I'm scared that I could be pregnant because I know a girl who didn't know she was pregnant until it was too late because she was still getting her period! Do you think I could be pregnant or that my period is just irregular (my period was regular before I took the pill).

I have had low and mid abdominal pain and bloating for a couple of days, which is getting worse. Since last night I have also had upper abdominal burning pain and nausea. I started taking Ramipril 3 days ago for high blood pressure and have read that gastrointestinal inflammation, abdominal discomfort and dyspepsia can be common side effects, so I am assuming this is the cause. I can't see a doctor for 3 days. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain/burning in the meantime please? I have taken paracetamol, a pro-biotic and gaviscon tablets to no effect.

Im on birth control for about 10 days (I'm taking jolessa, for the 91 days cycle). Last night I had unprotected sex, but my boyfriend told me that he didn't cum inside. I had diarrhea last friday (I think it affects the birth control pills), and I took one pill one hour late. Should I take the morning after pill or am I fine?
