Does the feeling of "bombed out" eventually go away while taking citalopram ? I'm only on day 2 and I cant move off the sofa. I'm taking 20mg 1 a day.

Yep they make me feel sick as a lot of people have warned me about but I was bombed out on paroxetine so I told my doctor I wanted something less harsh hense why I'm on citalopram but these are having same affect.

Thank you in advance 🙂

It takes about three weeks for a SSRI/SNRI to 'kick-in'. The feeling your describing can happen while the body gets used to the new drug. I would check with your doc if it's bothering you too much.
