Citalopram problems again!

I've mentioned a while back about how unwell I've been feeling on citalopram. Since then it's been on a few occasions where I've woken up in the middle of the night/early morning in the worst pain I've ever felt in my stomach which leads to a pounding heart and feeling like I'm gonna pass out! The other day I had to lay on the floor cos I couldn't see anything at all! I feel out of breath all the time and my hearts constantly fluttering! Generally I feel really happy at the minute and the best I've felt in ages! I'm not at all as bad as I was. Has anyone had this experience with citalopram?! Or know what it could be?! Thinking I need to go to my doctor and maybe change meds!

Yes, I used to feel like that on it. Also got some kind of weird 'restless limb' thing when I was trying to sleep where I'd feel like I had to shake my arms or legs -so frustrating! Kept me from sleeping a deal of the time.
