I have palpitations and dizziness with citalopram, what should I do?

Good morning, ma'am,

What you are describing may be similar to the side effects of citalopram. It may also cause nausea, drowsiness or headaches, depending on the person. These are usually mild and temporary.

Did you have these symptoms with the lower dose? Are the symptoms you describe tolerable on balance?

Thank you for the information!

In this case, I strongly suggest that you discuss it with your pharmacist who, after a short consultation, can suggest options, such as lowering the dose, even if only temporarily (20 or 25mg for example). He/she will keep your doctor informed and will be able to follow up closely with you.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

With pleasure! Good continuation
