Citalopram effects: The symptoms that you list are usually some of the things that Citalopram is prescribed to TREAT, so if you are still having these symptoms or side effects after a few months, I would talk to your doctor about considering a different medication or, at least, a re-evaluation of your diagnosis and symptoms.
