A member asked:

Started citalopram 10mg 3 days ago. last night i slept quite badly and my resting heart rate went down from 63/64 to about 55-57 - normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The heart rate drop is not low enough to be a problem. Bad night sleep may be your body adjusting to med vs. many other factors 2 long 2 list. If sleep still a problem after a week or so, talk 2 ur doctor about next step
