I have been back on citalopram for a couple of weeks after being ok and coming off it for a while.
But now I feel completely wired, waking up feeling nauseous, extremely anxious and jittery, not able to cry. Just feel like I can't let out the stress I'm feeling and am on adrenalin overload, yet tired at the same time. I'm off work, but worried about feeling the same when I go back.
Before, it's not taken over 2 weeks for initial side effects to settle. Am worried. :-\

Hi Flea,
I know this is an old post, but I am hoping you are still out there somewhere.
I have been on Citalopram for two weeks now, and I have the same symptoms you describe. I even wake up in the night feeling anxious and panicky - for absolutely no reason!
My depression symptoms are much better, and I no longer feel I just want to stay in bed and pull the covers over my head, but this feeling panicky and nervous all the time is starting to really bug me. I feel I need to keep busy all the time to take my mind off it - I can't even settle to watch the TV.
I wonder if anyone else has had this, and, if so, what they did about it.
Chris

Flea, I was taking Citalopram for several months and I didn't suffer any side effects. On the other side of the coin after a while it didn't help at all/ I haven't taken an antidepressant for about 9 months but my depression got severe again so I started Sertraline which I started a week ago.
