Does Citalopram have the side effect of making me hot?

Question

Hi, I started citalopram 6 weeks ago. I started at 10 mg and I am currently at 20 mg. Since then, I am very hot and have difficulty tolerating "normal" temperatures. I am naturally cold but I am now starting to be comfortable only if it is below 18°. I don't sweat though. I know that I tend to react strongly to medication and have a lot of side effects, but I don't see anything about that with the Citalopram.

Hello, ma'am, How long have you been taking the 20 mg dose? Since when did you start to feel the heat? Is it all day or at times? Did you have this symptom with the lower dose? I have not received any feedback from you. I invite you to contact your pharmacist directly for a consultation tailored to your needs. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
