I have been taking citalopram for 1 week and I still have side effects. Is this normal?

Hello Madam, what dose are you currently taking?

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, this medication can cause headaches and/or nausea, but these generally diminish over time. If this is not the case, I invite you to discuss it with your pharmacist who may consider adjusting the dose (for example, try 5mg or 7.5mg), keep your doctor informed of the steps he or she is taking, and follow up closely with you.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

We'd love to!
