A member asked:

I am very emetophobic and struggle with anxiety. have been on citalopram for 10 days now (20mg) how common is vomiting? worried to take them!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not too common: 21% of users report nausea; 4% report vomiting. This side effect, if you are going to get it, usually occurs early on. With continued use the side effect becomes less common.
