I have been taking Citalopram (20mg) for a little over a year. I have been having night sweats and stiffness in my jaw since then. Can these be side effects of Citalopram?

Hello

Night sweats and jaw stiffness are more likely to be caused by anxiety than by citalopram. Have you ever tried a dose larger than 20mg? Are your anxiety symptoms mostly well relieved?

You are right. Changing the dose of a medication without discussing it with your team is not recommended.

To return to your question, I believe that your symptoms are very unlikely to be related to the citalopram, especially at the dose you are taking.

Discuss these symptoms with your doctor. He or she will be able to look at your entire situation and analyze whether these symptoms could be due to a return of anxiety at night.
