Hi. The headache is a side effect of citalopram. Have it changed with another medicine. There are many more in that same class of antidepressant. Best of luck. Francis, depressionnewscentral.com

Dear Siannane,

After having my citralopram increased from 10mg to 20mg, I started to get headaches.

I mentioned this to my family and after speaking to them I went back to my GP who has cut the citralopram dose back to 10mg. I no longer get the headaches like i did when i was on the 20mg tablets.

Headaches is one of the side effects of citralopram.

kindest regards,

Marcus

Hi Siananne

I have been on citalopram for 2 months now and yes I have the same sort of headaches that you are referring to. It is tension in the neck but try to get a massage on your neck and shoulders it really does help the headaches will go.

Take Care
