Afterwards your maintenance dose will be adapted throughout your treatment based on the blood levels of Citalopram you will be having. • Therefore always use the prescribed dose and frequency your doctor gave you. • What are the side-effects? • Very common (10%): nausea, dry mouth, somnolence, insomnia and headache. • Common (1-10%): weight loss, agitation, nervousness, anxiety, abnormal dreams, difficulty concentrating, tremor, dizziness, tinnitus, yawning, intestine complaints, itching, muscle pain, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction and fatigue. • Uncommon (0.1-1%): weight gain, increased appetite, aggression, hallucinations, slow heart rate, fast heart rate, hives and a rash • Safety: • You should be careful to combine Citalopram with alcohol. As this might increase the dazing effect of this drug. • In addition it is usually safe to drive while using Citalopram, however it can cause you to become drowsy, sleepy and/or dizzy. If you experiencing any of these side effects then please do not drive. • Furthermore, Citalopram can have interactions with several drugs.
