A member asked:
Have headache from citalopram is this still side effects from it ?but i have switched to fluoxetine now when can expect to go away?

Medicine half life: It is possible this is still a side effect of the old medicine, it is possible it is not a side effect. I would give this a week or so, it takes time for medicines to wear off. Hopefully the new medicine does not cause the same symptom.
