Hello Kattie87. Not certain what you are asking. If its that Citalopram is keeping you awake, you might ask your doctor to prescribe you a sleeping medication such as Trazodone. If its that you're taking it and its not enough to help you fall sleep, then ask your doctor to increase it.(Citalopram) Best of wishes,pledge

Im really sorry to hear of your loss! Sorry for the bum steer with the amitriptyline. Another option is melatonin, which is naturally occurring in your body. It comes in tablet form, I think I'm right in saying it comes in 3, 5 & 6mg. Check this out with your dr or pharmacist first due to your health condition. I hope you get some sleep soon.
