I have been tapering off 40 mgs of Paxil and I decided to just stop and got extremely sick. So now I'm taking 20's, then 10's... then I'll stop. 10 mg's of Citalopram for 3 days has not gotten all the way into your system. It takes 4-6 weeks for an antidepressant to start working fully and be in your system to the point where it is going to be affective. I suggest stopping or calling your doctor to stop. I did not like Citalopram either. In fact I have not found one anti-depressant that works, I feel that means I am not depressed. They all give me bad reactions such as yours.

And yes, the side effects generally do taper off as your body adjusts to the medication. They may include: nausea, headache, dry mouth and fatigue. You can read more on this medication here: http://www.prescriptiondrug-info.com/drug_details.asp?title=Citalopram&page=1002109&ad=true If they continue or are bothersome, please speak to your doctor.

I take it in the morinings and the depression and anxiety are worse until about 2:30-3:00pm then in the evenings I feel pretty good. My head is so hot I can't sleep and I am impotent as well occasional dizziness. Should I stop or what?
