Seizure

[Lisajane62]

Has anybody suffered with a seizure. Been on Citalopram for about 8 weeks and collapsed with a seizure. Take eye drops for glaucoma but the specialist said it was ok. I had a one off seizure 16 months ago and nothing since until I started the medication.

If you had a seizure before you started on citalopram it seems logical something else is causing it . I would do some Googling to see if this is a side effect of this drug. Make sure the research isn't done by the maker of the drug. Negative research is often buried within a report and you have to do some serious digging.Pam

I think any seizure, regardless of potential causes, warrants a trip to the doctor. Hope you're ok and get it sorted x

I have seen GP and have an appointment with a neurologist this week. I was in Guys hospital in London for a couple of days CT scan clear and heart scan which showed prolonged QTs. Have got to wear a heart monitor for a day. Thank you for your replies.
