Sleep Terrors Anyone?

4 Replies

I’ve been on 10mg Citalopram for 2 years but having terrible sleep terrors and have even hit my husband during them. Is this normal and would changing to another one help? We’re both so tired all the time as we’re not sleeping properly. I take them for anxiety and low moods and feel worse due to disturbed sleep. Is there one that won’t give me sleep problems?

I’ve had them every night for a week so have got worse now, I normally have them 2 or 3 times a week. I’ll have to speak to my gp and see if there’s another med that won’t give me these problems. Hope yours settle down
