Citalopram (anti/dep) whilst dieting
Hiya,
I started taking Citalopram (Cipramil) yesterday, due to feeling insecure and down depressed also not being able to focus. The thing is I was on this last time and I put weight on...bloated. Now if I diet and exercise will I be fighting a losing game will the tablets make me bloat if that is the case I will not take them
I'v got a headache at the moment on them... anyway, is there anyone out there who has been on these and not put weight on...'

Hi Thunder,
Citalopram can cause a rise or fall in blood pressure, as well as headaches (related to BP change?). Apprently wieght gain is a commun known side effect.
Exercising sounds a good thing. But please do take it easy! You odn;t want to exhaust yourself with it. Have you talked to you GP? Maybe there are other alternatives you could take?
Love,
Artemis
